The Feeling of Fall

Submitted by Down East Guest B... on Thu, 09/23/2010 - 1:24pm.

The feeling of Fall has entirely settled in this week. Some of the trees outside my office windows are changing color, and my long-sleeved shirts have taken the prominent place in my closet. It was warm yesterday and I found myself thinking that I didn't want it to be warm. I was done with warm. The words of the day these days are crisp, colorful, calm, cozy. All "C" words, strangely. I'm not sure what that means, but the point is that I am feeling settled in and preparing for the quietude of the coming seasons in Maine. I hope that whereever you are you're feeling the same way - even if it's 80 degrees.

Here are a few pictures from an excursion last weekend to Bailey's Orchards in Whitefield. It was a wonderful afternoon and the apples are oh-so-sweet.
