Some
things we did this year that made it even better…
• We planted sedum in the garden. It adds a
lovely green texture to surrounding blooms all summer and slowly turns to a rose
and then a rich cranberry color as the weather turns colder. They call it “autumn
joy”, and yes it is.
• We brought our bikes on board the Casco Bay Ferry
to Peaks Island and spent the morning touring this quaint and rustic island. After
our ride, we stopped into The Peaks Café for lunch and had a hot cup of coffee.
Lyle had cocoa. Perfect.
• We invested in a portable fire pit and placed
it on a heatproof mat to protect the grass. Fall evenings are now spent outside
by a cozy fire rather than in front of the TV…
