The weather forecast shows a wet, rainy, but warm Halloween is expected in the Mid-Hudson Valley and Poughkeepsie are.  Hi 69 / Lo 42.  It might turn out to be the first rainy Halloween night since I moved into my house 10 years ago.  I can track the weather back that far because each Halloween I set up a table outside on my driveway and serve donut holes and cider to the trick-or-treaters.  It's great to see all the neighbor having fun and to chat with the parents too.

If it rains this year I might need to set up shop inside my garage or forgo tradition all together. 

And, after the trick-or-treaters are done collecting their loot, the next thing I'll be doing this year is setting all my clocks back. 

Remember, Daylight Savings ends at 12am on November 1st.  Yes, and it will be getting darker sooner now ...that means one less hour of daylight available each day for Dutchess County homebuyers to be looking at property.  Well, we can always bring a flashlight to look around outside I guess  Heck, I'm not afraid of the dark.   Are you?
