Be prepared pick your apples and peaches tomorrow. They will be lots of drops after Monday.

I wasn't around yet, however my Dad was, and got caught while driving truck with trees and power lines coming through the windshield of his ride, at the time down near Plymouth Ma. Needless to say, he was late for dinner that evening, however and most appreciatively welcomed home when he got there!! He was among the very lucky to have survived that one, and this allowed our family to move on!!
I thank you for the reminder, RailroadJoe!
Terry
