October 2012 Newsletter: Beth's Fall Tours Begin On Wednesday

Dear friends,

Mother Nature has already crowned the treetops in Duchess County and Upper Westchester with spangles of red, orange and gold.  If you live in New York City, please visit us "upstate" before the great rains of November wash this beauty away.
