Prelude

Friday evening I set up my display for the Holiday Fair
at the Consolidated Elementary School in Kennebunkport.
I am in the hall and how appropriate that "The Cat in the Hat"
is peering out from behind my display with a big WELCOME!
(The walls are covered with school children's posters and art for it
is a school!)

The tree lighting ceremony took place
while we were setting up but afterward
we took a ride through town to see
more people than in the summer,
bustling around, many wearing unusual and
comical hats for the occasion.
The tree sparkled!
Busy Days

Kennebunkport is celebrating the Christmas Prelude
this weekend ... the tree is in place and shopkeepers
are in the process of decorating with lights.

Not The Usual October 30th

Last night the major snow storm moved into Maine
and it resembled the middle of winter when we opened
the front door this morning with snow flurries lingering.

We left the house early and drove through the
snowy streets heading for the Nonatum Hotel.
The car was packed with my
art for I was to have a little display in the lobby
for their "Breakfast with an Artist".


It was warm and cozy inside and I loved the
breakfast...they had one of my favorite foods...
It was not too busy but I met a few guests.


Back in our yard it seemed strange to see snow
and leaves still on the trees.
The heavy snow bent many of the tree limbs to
the ground and D went around trying to knock
the snow off of them.

By afternoon the sun appeared and helped to
melt some of the snow.
We were very thankful that we didn't lose the power.
My relatives in Connecticut are having a tough time
as are so many other people.
They may not have power returned for a week in some
cases. So many trees and wires are down there.
Hope everyone is safe and can find warmth to get
through this tough time.

Autumn to Winter

This afternoon felt and looked like autumn around here,
still some subtle color in the trees and the
pumpkins were still hanging on the pumpkin tree.

Tonight is a different story...the snow started
around 6 pm. and it is heavy and clinging to
the trees that still have many leaves.
We're worried about the damage such
heavy snow could do to the trees and we
could lose our power.
Have my flashlight by my side!
If you are in the path of this unusual October
Snow Storm in New England I hope you stay safe
and warm.

Pears, Beans, Marsh

D collected the Asian pears
from our tree this afternoon...
perhaps it might snow tomorrow.
Any ideas of what to do with so many?

In search of what we thought was an eagle
in the late afternoon we came upon
a Great Blue Heron and some others
over here.
