Fall brings more than just apple pie and pumpkin spice to our tables. It's the season we can enjoy a variety of fruits and vegetables like cranberries, winter squash, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, kale, cabbage, pomegranate, radish, turnips, parsnips and of course, apples and pumpkins! Buying produce when it's in season typically results in better flavor and is easier on your wallet.

Reuben Clark Law Society went to the west side of Woodlawn Cemetery on October 22 to take over 1,000 pictures of gravestones for www.BillionGraves.com, a gravestone database that helps families find graves and conduct genealogy research.
