It’s been a windy week on the Old Mission Peninsula, so we’re losing a lot of our leaves and fall colors. Last night was a cold and sleety one for trick-or-treaters, but it didn’t seem to deter the tiny ghouls and goblins on Sixth Street.
We found ourselves in town around 5 p.m. and wandered down Sixth Street to take a few pics. Check them out over at Old Mission Gazette’s Instagram account here (scroll through this post to see all ten pics).

And here are a few photos of the fall colors around the OMP. What a beautiful stretch of land. Even though I’ve lived here my whole life (59 years and counting), I never take any of it for granted.

SUPPORT YOUR INDEPENDENT LOCAL NEWSPAPER: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers and magazines like the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So I started my own newspaper.
Because Old Mission Gazette is a "Reader Supported Newspaper" -- meaning it exists because of your financial support -- I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks our way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the OMP. In a time when local news is becoming a thing of the past, supporting an independent community newspaper is more important now than ever. Thank you so much for your support! -Jane Boursaw, Editor/Publisher, Old Mission Gazette
