The weather this week has been glorious; cool crystal clear blue skies and fall color everywhere. I wonder why Maine is not too busy for words during this stretch of perfect weather and outstanding beauty. I use this time to cut and split our firewood for the coming winter and enjoy the work even if it is tiring after my easy summer of riding around in a boat.
There has been a marked change in the weather over the last week. Fall is here for sure. A jacket is a must on every morning fishing trip, we have had the first fires in woodstove, but we still the days are warm and sunny with crystal clear blue skies. The maple leaves are turning red in the wet places near ponds and along the river. My schedule slows as fewer folks are traveling in September than there were last summer and this week I am spending more time in the woods working with the dogs in preparation for the upland bird season.
One of the benefits of being out every day is that you see some amazing things. In the last two weeks I have had two great stories happen to me.
