The Leaves this last week have turned from intense bright yellows, oranges, and reds--- to a more muted tone. It's this time of year that starts to give me some real anxiety (which is not anything new if you know me).... It is so incredibly beautiful out, and the air is perfect and the colors are amazing...but yet I start getting freaked out that snow is right around the corner...and a very long winter. I've caught myself more than once telling Ellery that I wish it could be like this all year, and never change. I guess if i wanted to beat the seasons, I should be living somewhere else. However- I think the reason I love Maine so much is because of the seasons--- you really earn your sort of spring/summer, and fall because you go through about 5 months of winter!
Anyway in other news- I had a Pie Tasting last week at THE CAVE in Brooklin- a fantastic wine, cheese, and chocolate shop that I use to work at. My friend Laura so generously let me have Pies and cakes out for sample to get the word out about SARAHNDIPITY PIES AND BAKED GOODS.
On the menu: Pumpkin Pie with a Chocolate Ganache (see picture), Apple-Raspberry Pie, Plum Torte, Flour less Chocolate Cake with a chocolate ganache, Bacon-Blue Cheese-Leek Quiche and Bucklyn Coffee Cake cookie bars. It went really well, and I'm really hoping I get loads of Pie orders for Thanksgiving!
Yesterday Ellery and I went for a hike in Cape Rosier (the prettiest place on earth)--- we found a pretty cool trail that led us down to a pond that beavers had taken over. We decided to take a nap in the sun and all of a sudden tons of Dragon Flys were landing all over us. They were beautiful reds and blues. I get a real kick out of moments in life like this. A seamlessly normal sort of day that really just lifts my spirits.... I know there are many perks about living in the city- but really I totally appreciate being a country girl in these moments. It's doubtful you would get to take a nap by your husband next to a beautiful pond on the waning days of fall and have these beautiful jeweled creatures land on you. Someone remind me of this in a few months when I'm complaining about the snow.
Cheers for now. -Sarah
