PRESCOTT – The short dip back into summer and the rain we have received have all contributed to fall getting off to a great start! Our trees have started to pop out with gorgeous colors. Perennial mums are blooming too as are sedum and sumac. Cooler evenings have sent us all looking for sweaters and sweatshirts. Hopefully fall will continue through September and into October so we can all go for beautiful drives both up north and down river.
