• Put those flip-flops back under the bed...""Fall has arrived
• An unusual lake sits at the south end of this valley.""As water levels change, the high mineral content creates the strange pattern that gives the lake its name
• Now that all the fruit\s been harvested from this orchard...""Let\s get to baking
• Fruit orchards like this were once the primary agricultural endeavor here.""But something new has taken hold, and it\s pulling in tourists
