| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes from my back porch... Today, while driving, I caught a glimpse of something startling -- "Look," I said to my kids, "..that tree is turning!" I pointed to the tips of a small swamp maple, swaying in the wind, waving its brilliant scarlet leaves. My daughter gasped: "No, it can't be! Summer can't be over yet!" Well, it's not over yet, but it is this time of year where we in Northern New England do catch a peek of things to come. This week you'll have a peek at two of the pleasures of autumn in New England: fall foliage and corn mazes. And don't miss Charlie's Salade Nicoise that brings the bounty of New England's harvest together to make a delicious end-of-summer salad.

A-Maizing Corn Mazes -- Visit One This Fall The first time our family went into a corn maze, we looked at each other and said, “ha, we’ll be out of here in a half hour.” Well, it was “a-mazing” how challenging and disorienting (but fun!) a corn maze can be.

In Season Recipe: Salade Nicoise "Salade Nicoise is a 'composed salad', meaning each component is prepared separately and then arranged on a platter for an attractive presentation.

Great Maine Apple Day - October 14, 2006 Unity, Maine If you've never used anything but Macintosh apples for pie, think a keeper is only a term used in fishing, or believe that a Black Oxford is only a type of dress shoe, you definitely need to brush up on your Maine apple history. The sixth annual Great Maine Apple Day on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2006 is just the place to do that while socializing with other people who enjoy growing, eating and cooking with Maine apples. The event takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the grounds of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardener's Association in the town of Unity. Click here for more information...
