Your friends cabin is so quaint and perfect... I can imagine delicious and fun candlelit meals on that deck! What a paradise you both have. Magical looking out on the water from Lynn's cabin.

They come by every morning, and every evening, as they know we are ready for them :-) I love to watch them from the chair outside, or through our living room window.<br />Is there some orange on the trees on the other side of the lake?

Autumn was such a glorious time growing up in the Shenandoah Valley. I love the crispness in the air, long shadows, colorful trees and the scent of smoldering leaves--and the thought of the holidays that follow. I return to the valley every October. I'm also looking forward to a fall in New England soon since my son and daughter-in-law are living in Massachusetts. Your new inn sounds wonderful. I must explore it further.<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-8829311793729486692010-09-12T10:23:29.579-07:002010-09-12T10:23:29.579-07:00You make me want to visit Maine the next time I vi...You make me want to visit Maine the next time I visit my daughter!<br /><br />We still had hummingbirds last week but there is a definite nip in the air at night now. I expect we'll see more birds taking off for warmer climates (and by February, hubby and I wonder why we didn't fly away).<br /><br />I love Sept. and Oct., too. As lovely as spring can be, it can bring lots of rain here. Autumn is magical.<br /><br />By the way, my cauliflower plants have all been eaten, they look like lace! Good thing I don't depend on my garden for my food (still going through a learning curve).Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-70208149317893367632010-09-11T14:12:20.003-07:002010-09-11T14:12:20.003-07:00I just LOVE Hollyhock Days.

We have seen loons for the first time ever in the salty bay where we have a little cottage, and I can't believe my eyes. I always thought they liked quiet, pure Maine and Vermont ponds. <br />I'm sorry I haven't been leaving comments for a while. I was busy making memories with my 8 year old all summer, and now he is back in school. It is wonderful to be back in the studio, to start making new things, and to visit you here and thank you for all of your wonderful encouraging words this summer! love, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911123778861666041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-3978330585990608982010-09-10T22:22:53.116-07:002010-09-10T22:22:53.116-07:00I'm far away from home here in Dallas (GWA) bu...I'm far away from home here in Dallas (GWA) but am taking a much needed break to read your post.. taking me away from this humid, stifling heat to your beautiful lake house.

And to think you just wrote to little ole me. <br /><br />About that, I have a sedum too, that came from my grandmother at least 27 years ago, [the age of my son]. I wonder if it's the same one you mentioned. It looks like 'Angelina' only silvery blue. It has yellow flowers in mid-summer. Frankly it's such a permanent fixture in my garden, the thought of photographing it didn't even cross my mind. :) <br /><br /><br />I love the photos of the lake. What a wonderful place! How funny the title of the cookbook. Mennonite Girls Can Cook. LOL I need to show this blog to my daughters who like their mother are not so fabulous in the kitchen. <br /><br />Kudos to Jeff for taking care of your feathered friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
