AHHHHHH-CTOBER

Posted on Oct 20, 2016 | 0 comments

Monday, October 10, 2016 Ahhhhh, October. For those of us who live in the desert, it means the mercury plummets into the 90s during the day and it’s cool enough at night to sleep with the windows open. For others of you, perhaps it means fall leaves, pumpkin patches, and fireplaces.
