In my mind I was going to create one of those catchy slide shows…you know, the ones that click through 100 amazing photos in 2.5 minutes accompanied by some up-beat music…that’s why it’s been so long since the last posting. But the weather has been spectacular and I’ve found a thousand reasons not to be in the office doing computer chores…so here are a few of the photos that may some day make it into the snappy slide show…
Our last two weeks in snips:


I spent Columbus Day Weekend on Deer Isle at the Haystack School of Crafts. The program is open by lottery and I won a slot in the Blacksmithing class…it was SO MUCH fun…exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. I loved the molten metal and being surrounded by all of the artistic souls…the hammering was seriously hard work. Steven stayed home and kept the campground running smoothly…how lucky am I?

Hike and Bike Trails !!!! 🙂 Fantastic!! Huge smiles. And congratulations
Hi Astrig & Steve,
Are you going to stay making the trails this fall? If so, a trip up might be in order!
Astrig, I too took a blacksmithing class a few years ago and fell in love with the heat, the iron, and the anvil. Something very primitive, yet satisfying about this art. Fall looks beautiful in Searsport. I miss it everyday.
Shirley,
When you can find our way back into Searsport you’ll always have a home. In the meantime I’ll try to keep the blog updated enough that you know what our little corner of the world looks like on any given week.
Hugs,
Astrig
