This fall has been really nice but today we turned the corner towards winter. I hear that northern Maine had a couple of inches of snow last night and something similar is in the forecast for us tomorrow night and Wednesday. The high today was just over 30 degrees with a stiff north wind. This is about the normal time for it to turn colder in the here just before Thanksgiving.

I wrote a couple of times this year about becoming an electronic license agent. I would say that the effort has met with mixed results. The obstacles are what you would expect weather, sparse internet connection and simply being able to fill in the forms quickly enough.

The neighbor farm is raising Belted Galloways as local beef. If you do not know they are black or brown with a white stripe (or belt) around the middle. An old breed that does well in our area and have been made a little famous by the herd down in Rockport that gets their picture taken frequently; the Oreo cookie cows so to speak.
