The wind has shifted and makes a different noise in the trees, our sweaters are airing in the sunshine and we’re roasting tomatoes for the winter every afternoon…until we start with the apples for butter and fruit leather.

It’s Fall on Penobscot Bay.  No clouds in the sky.  Every where you look there are harvest celebrations and quieter activities to enjoy.  This morning the following list of weekend events showed up in my e-mail box:

Maine Lighthouse Day  The U.S. Coast Guard, the State of Maine and the American Lighthouse Foundation are pleased to announce the second annual Maine lighthouse open house.   Last year, hundreds of people visited lighthouses along the Maine coast in the largest effort of its kind in the nation.
