It is really fall. It is hard to believe that it is, as we have had the most amazing stretch of weather. But, so it is.

Summer is really over, and fall is really here. We have been trying to catch up with listing fabrics. The goal is to get all of the fabrics that have been sitting along a wall onto the website!
THURSDAY- September 11, 2014
It is hard to believe that September is nearly half over! Last Saturday it was really hot, and humid! The weather we usually get in mid-August! But, unfortunately it did not rain… thunder, but no rain. And do we need it! It has been nearly three weeks since we had any. But, it has cooled off this week, so even without the rain there is less stress on plants.
I love fall; but, the weather this summer was so glorious, days of sun with no humidity, that I am truely sorry to see summer’s end. But, the hand writing is on the wall. In four weeks it will be Columbus Day, which signals the end of warm days here in Maine. The days are definitely darker earlier- each day being shorter and shorter. Time to get all outdoor chores done!

The summer is really half gone. And today the humidity had cleared out, and cool, dry air has moved in.

It is difficult to believe that Memorial Day weekend is nearly here, but so it is! And with that many of us start thinking of gardens.

Spring comes slowly in the north. Looked for eagerly, everyone is grateful when we turn the corner on winter.

March came in like a lion this year, and is leaving in the same way. This has been the coldest March on record for the state of Maine.
This March has been cold! Every day the thermometer read just above 0 degrees F. Ice, snow, and cold has been the norm. While it would be lovely to see snowdrops, we are a bit away from that!
Saturday was a beautiful glorious day. It seemed as if spring had finally arrived. But, yesterday it poured, and I mean poured, a cold wet rain. With a super high tide, the ground still frozen, there was no where for the water to go. Roads were flooding. And today it has been a day of sleet!
But, Saturday was worth the wait. Spot and I took not one walk, but two! It was just too nice to be indoors!
The meadows have been too icy for us to walk,
so, it was with joy we set out!
I will get more pictures posted later,
but first some fabric news!

WATERCOLOR FABRICS!
Around the end of January
we received samples of several watercolor fabrics.
We put in our order,
and sat back and waited.
There are two florals, a zig-zag stripe, and a mermaid’s garden.
We got the first of them up last week!
THE WATERCOLOR FLORAL-
