This fall’s foliage seems to be better than I remember. It is interesting though to be in two regions of the state separated by a little better than 200 miles and see the differences. I travelled home from Libby Camps this weekend for a little rest and relaxation. (Actually to clear out my mailbox and the top of my desk in the office) At any rate the foliage here on the coast lags the North Country by a week or so in my estimation.
This week started my month of guiding upland bird hunters. The dogs and I are spending most of October at Libby Camps chasing grouse and woodcock. So far the season is off to a pretty slow start due to the incredibly warm weather. Thursday it was 82 degrees on the thermometer in the Yukon when I checked at about 2 in the afternoon. Yesterday was a little cooler but not what you would consider fall temperatures. This morning is very cool and windy.
Sometimes things align to make life seem crazy. My October upland bird hunting starts a long stretch without a day off tomorrow, Argy is one of the lead planners for At the Creative Center a conference for 300 or so Arts Educators that happens Friday and Saturday at the Samoset, Nicholas is giving a presentation at the conference on Friday and Noah will be coming down from the College of the Atlantic to take pictures of the event for his mom.
