Cowboys have finished gathering the cattle from summer range. Pumpkins decorate porches, raked leaves are starting to pile up in front yards along historic Highway 89. Mid-October means orange hunting vests, football games to decide championships, and getting together those Halloween costumes. Enjoy a great weekend of Indian or Saint Martin's summer while it lasts.
