Autumn in Oriental

It appears that autumn is upon us in Oriental. We got a little frost last week, and our neighbor's tree is looking pretty in it's fall colors. It was supposed to reach 75 degrees today, though it may not get quite that warm unless the rain clouds clear away. Our ginger is still blooming and also the large pink rose bush. And I expect the lawn will need to be mowed at least once more before the end of the year.

Business had slowed down a bit since Labor Day, but is now picking up again. It's nice to see the number of available homes start to decrease, after watching the inventory constantly increase over the past year. There are some good deals to be had, and some lucky buyers are making their move now in order to get the lowest possible price. Some of the builders are offering very attractive incentive packages on their new homes also.

The Spirit of Christmas celebration and parade will be here on December 8th, just over a week away. Hope to see many of you there.
