pie!!

Woke up this morning to Andy skipping inside with the most delicious apple pie that had been left on our front stoop. The culprits? Andy's friends Pat and Stephanie...boy can that girl make one davine pie. Coffee and pie for breakfast. What a perfect way to start a cool fall morning!

it is fall once again

Just returning from our morning walk my cheeks are still cool from the crisp air. Finishing my coffee and reflecting a bit on the summer that, as Maine summers go, went by in a flash. Preparing for change and a shift in weather. Preparing to go out on my own. Appreciating the love and support of all my friends and family. Trying to stay grounded while in a whirl of information fills my brain. Goodbye summer till next year. Welcome fall!

One of my favorite pictures from the farm party taken by Jamie Bloomquist. (check out his website here) an amazingly talented photographer who graciously shared his photos with us!

farm party 2

Boy was this oven worked last night. 90 doughs (at least) were tossed, stretched, and rolled onto peels, slid into the oven and presented to the fantastic mass of people who attended last nights party. The beautiful rounds (well mostly round) of molten pizza were consumed faster than we could produced them while some pretty serious blue grass was happening over by the fire pit with banjo's, fiddles, guitars, drums, and beautiful voices.

Thanks to all who attended, and brought the tasty toppings, donated brews and wines, creative energy and great conversation. What an amazing group of friends we have found and are eternally grateful for you all!
