Dear Reader:

We are down by now to our last day in Maine…so many places left to go, so little time…but I know I have fallen in love with Maine and all it has to offer. It might be small but it has a “plethora” of beautiful sights and delights to the eye….that has kept me oohing and aahing for four days straight!

Before I left last Sunday I walked through and around my house and yard taking photos of different Autumn decor I have used in the past, along with some new arrangements, candles and wooden plaques. Fall fills me with happiness and joy…especially homemade!

*Here was my latest homemade addition to the porch…new mums for the watering can planter.

I am so glad to be able to time travel and see fall at its peak in Maine and then be able to return home to a fall just starting to change colors. I get two falls this year…what a wonderful gift!

Here are some photos I hurriedly took before finishing packing last Monday….a taste of homemade fun, foliage, and crafts.

Before I left…the occurrence  we had been hoping/praying for arrived…small showers of rain….it wasn’t a continuous downfall…but short intervals of rain. At that point…it didn’t even matter to me…rain is rain is rain. I was thrilled and felt more comfortable leaving my garden behind with a little something to drink before I left.

As soon as you turn into Rainbow Road these days…my neighbor’s ghosts and zombies await you…but they don’t scare me…after all I’m not named BOO! for nothing! 🙂

So until tomorrow ….Keep your “spirits” up and find homespun happiness all around you!
