Living In New England

Today was a day that you dream of, a wonderful fall day. Not too hot, no humidity. Around the mid 60's. I spent the entire day working outside. Pruned bushes at the church and finished a painting project with my friend Linda.

We are getting ready for our Annual Yard/Bake Sale, which will be held on Oct. 4th, which is a Saturday. Lunch will also be available on that day as well.

This is the day the entire town can participate in purchasing a notation on the map, which will outline the various spots in our area selling their goods. I'm not sure, but I also heard that the neighboring town of Dudley is holding the same event. Which means if your in the area, you have choices....

Getting ready means making the church yard presentable with all the color your mind can imagine. Fall mums, yellow, raspberry, rust and marigolds of vivid orange and yellow, just to begin with. A very cute scarecrow, indian corn adorned with a harvest plaid. And pumpkins.

We have so much fun in New England. Kids will be picking their own pumpkins soon, either to be painted or carved. We still need to purchase our corn stock to stake, then, we're pretty much set to go.

The baked goods are mostly ethnic and sell out early. We buy our fair share of them, freezing the goodies to last until November for company and lunches.

The lunch menu will be hot dogs, and possibly squash soup. The famous kielbasa casserole and homemade bread along with the luscious apple goodies abundant this time of the year. Made to savor our guests and delight the weary shopper.

We hope you can make it this year, just follow the map. We will be at the St. Michael Church Hall.

Wonder what costume our little grandson will wear this year for Halloween? His mom picks the best and cutest ones. Always a surprise and I can't wait. It's sooo much fun!
