Hurricane Sandy seems a long time ago for those of us who were not directly effected. And after the warmth that was moved up here the reality of 30 degrees F. seems harsh. But, it IS November! And the temperatures have definitely dropped back to the norm!
The last of the fall leaves are hanging from the trees. But, the next few days with the storm coming up the coast, and another heading in from the west should send them whirling down.
The six annual Pumpkinfest was held in Damariscotta, Maine, on Columbus Day weekend. It is an event that all in the community take part in. While the large pumpkins are the main attraction, there are many events to enjoy. And everyone from small children to elderly people can participate. As always, it was a huge success!

It is officially fall- the weather is cool, nights are long, and the leaves are falling in golden drifts off of the trees.
Signs of fall are everywhere. It is hard to believe September is almost over. But, it is. Tree leaves are falling. And while a few flowers are still blooming, one knows that also is coming to an end.
Signs of fall abound! The temperature was 40 degrees F. yesterday morning!
I started out to write about several things, and then realized, when I put in the date for the week, that this week marks the anniversary, on a Tuesday, of 9/11. After that there was brain… nothing.. what can any of us say about anything compared to the idea that 11 years ago this Tuesday many people lost family and friends, and that we still remember.
The first week of September has been a wild roller coaster ride as far as weather is concerned! Hurricane Isaac pushed a lot of weather up the eastern seaboard.
While going through fabric to put in new orders and to tidy up fabric areas, I decided the easiest way to let people know what was being dropped, or was in very short supply was to make a laundry list.
The last of the summer is upon us. School starts for many next week, and the last vestiges of summer are apparent- acorns dropping from trees, leaves starting to color up.
