September is gone and fall is here. I have not turned on my furnace yet as I like to save money on heat and air conditioning.

The Zanesville Town Council will meet on their regular night of the third Tuesday of the month. That means Tuesday, Oct. 17, they will be at the community building on Wayne Street and all are invited to attend. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

I hope we don’t get any wind in the next week as outside my south window is a great big, maple tree that has probably been there since 1911 when Grandpa McBride moved our house back 19 feet to the north to make room for Scott Street/County Line as it needed to be wider. That tree usually turns a beautiful orange and it makes a wonderful background for family pictures.

By the way, what you know as Marzane/Indianapolis Road was then only Indianapolis, you would turn to make your way downtown. The north extension was cut through about 1941 and as you kept on it you would skip downtown Zanesville and head for Fort Wayne.

I really like October and the fall colors. I, however, don’t like the weird Halloween decorations.
