Today's plan included another opportunity to volunteer in the Upper Valley! I was awake early and found it was VERY cold (mid 20s) - that made it hard to be motivated... Still, I departed my condo by 0750 and drove (via I-89 and US-4) to Woodstock. The day was clear and cold, the quintessential Fall day in New England. I went to Mass at Our Lady of the Snows (0830 to 0915) and then I drove to the Billings Farm (arrived at 0920) so I could volunteer at the Family Halloween Celebration. From 0925 to 1335, I helped out with Pumpkin Bowling and Cider & Donut sales. I got a maple creamie during my break and even got a new Billings Farm ball cap from the staff! As usual, I was able able to get a healthy lunch in the staff break room when my shift was done. Overall, the weather was nice but we did have some swirling wind gusts that took the fallen leaves airborne. Met some new staff and volunteers and lots of friendly visitors to "The Farm." I left Woodstock at 1400 and was at my condo again by 1430. Sadly, foliage season is nearly done...
