A Glorious Fall Weekend in New England





This weekend we decided to take a hiatus from doing any chores and spent our time enjoying each other's company (I hope) and doing fun, autumnal things. On Saturday, we went to the farmer's market in Portland and Heather E. got to chat up her beloved Ramona Snell, we bought some great and cheap stuff for Maisie at a used kids clothing store in Falmouth and we went to Skyline Farm to an fundraiser art show.  This place is beautiful and open to the public, skylinefarm.org. Last night we made a beef pot pie and an apple pie and had the company of Carmen (who rules according to the pie).  Today we started the day off with a visit to Heather E.'s Bates roommate, Susan, and her baby daughter, and then we checked out the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church. From there we went with Mimi to Thompson's Orchard in New Glouster for donuts, apples, and cider and then for a scenic ride to Quaker Ridge in Raymond.  Now, I am ready for some football...Go New England.

I tried to post the other night, but lost the draft with some internet problems and I don't have the energy or memory to recreate it, but I encourage you to read the interview, Everything He Wants to Do is Illegal at motherearthnews.com.  R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
