October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came –
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper ~ “October’s Party”
This morning outside it smells gloriously as Autumn should.. I love it!! Sometimes I wish I could bottle it and smell it year round. However.. if I did that then I have a feeling it wouldn’t be so special.. I like special. I like how all the season’s have their own aroma to them, makes them each wonderful in their own way with something to look forward to.. even the much dreaded Maine winters.

This morning was beautiful.. the early fall sunlight coming up over the river gave everything a warm golden light. These are my favorite mornings, here in the autumn.. crisp enough to give off that wonderful fall aroma yet not so cold you can’t go out and enjoy a warm cup of coffee while watching the light play off it’s surroundings..
Speaking of light playing.. Michael and I went to Skowhegan last night so he could do an open mic. The first place we went to was actually in a town called Solon just a little north of Skowhegan called Solon Hotel which has a fairly run down bar but these can be my favorite types of bars. We walked in, Michael signed up near the stage to play and we walked across the dance floor and walked up a step to another part of the bar and there were the sunflowers above. They were literally bathed in the late sunlight and I was struck by how beautiful the scene looked given the surroundings. I call this photo Van Gogh at the Solon Hotel and Bar. I did add some more oranges to the photo but the sunlight is very accurate.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend..
