Falling for Autumn in Maine
The calendar has turned the page and autumn has arrived in southern Maine. After a wet start to the week, the last several days have been simply perfect fall weather. We’ve had sunny days in the low 70s and breezy evenings in the low 50s. She and I have broken out light jackets for evening dog walking duty, the fans around the house are all off (probably until next year), but we’ve not had to close any windows yet.
Obviously it’s still early in the season, but so far fall up here has been quite enchanting. The leaves are turning, the autumn beers are on the shelves, and we’ve smelled a few wood fires from the houses we stroll by in the evening. If this lasts until late October or even the Maine Brewer’s Festival in early November, it will be simply wonderful. I can’t wait to see how the season develops. And yes, the pun was intended.
