Ready for some FALL temps Y'ALL
Ready for Fall 2020
We are enjoying the nice cool weather as Fall began on Sept 22. I stopped at Jaemor Farms Market at Banks Crossing and picked up some mini-baseball pumpkins and other gourds. Also bought a "Knucklehead" pumpkin (with warts) for the first time.

| JOEY BAKER |
While it was strange the way college basketball ended this year, I am glad to know these four Dukies are returning for the next season.
Joey Baker
Matthew Hurt
Jordan Goldweir
and Wendell Moore
I will miss the the three seniors who graduated and the three who left early to play in the NBA.
But I am sure Coach K has another strong group of freshmen headed to Duke this fall!
Let's Go Duke!
