It brings more than just the sweet smell of the flowers to the Four Corners in Upstate NY… Well, autumn is here. Time has passed. It takes me quite awhile to settle back into the regular atmosphere here. It also takes me about that long to get passed that bit of sadness I get when the summer season is over. It means that the wonderful summer weather has moved on and the summer residents have gone back to their city homes. I work for the United States Postal Service in a summer resort area in Sullivan County, New York, with a high Orthodox Jewish population. I have been in the same office for nearly 28 years. My customers and I have become friends. Some are like family. Around the beginning of May, I start to feel the excitement growing. We start to get things in place, in the office, for the influx of people about to arrive at the end of June. Everyone will be coming back to the country to spend the summer in their homes.
