The changing of the leaves from green to brown, the haunted houses, the creativity of those who decorate their dwellings for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and the fall of snow. Me personally being from the Pennsylvania where we have seen snow as early as Halloween lasting until May, you see a lot of creativity where more amounts of snow falls of snowmen, igloos and snow creations. Yet, it serves as the sand here at the beach. Where you northern folks use your imagination in the snow so many months of the year, we do the same here but with sand. What kind of things can you do in the snow and sand? We would love to see your pictures!

LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS…
