“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” ~Andy Warhol Dear Universe, Fall only recently arrived and already the air feels crisper.

Salem Psychics
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” ~W.B. Yeats Dear Universe, Nothing says fall and Halloween in New England quite like Salem, MA.
