We hope you are finding time to enjoy things before the fall season, with all of it’s busy activities is upon us. For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, we hope you are looking forward to a wonderful spring!
For those of you finishing up projects, please send pics of what you are doing… we love to see new things, and it inspires others as well!

Well, summer seems to be coming to a close very quickly.
But, today was a most summery day!
It was warm, slight breeze, slightly humid…
and the cicadas are singing their August song.
The fields are beginning to have that slightly brown end of summer look.
And the sound of acorns on the kitchen roof has begun
it is the first real fall thing to happen.
Though, one tree up in Waldoboro is turning red, and the sumac is coloring up as well.
The Down East summer trip article
seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
An extra section on the Lubec Narrows lighthouse has been added,
but not finished.
Hopefully it will be tomorrow!
