GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
Enjoy today’s blast of Summer weather as we hit 73 degrees today with sunny skies. The last two days of weather were a warm welcome after the previous days of rain and cooler temperatures. As this is New England, the temperatures will come back down to the low sixties and high fifties over the weekend. This is an excellent opportunity for pumpkin or apple picking. Enjoy the weekend and stay safe.
