Putting the Rowboat to Bed
Winter's coming; time to get the boats out while the water's still liquid. Yesterday it was the rowboat's turn.

East Coast Days
After a terrific AFS conference in Providence, I (Anne) Amtrack-ed down to Bridgeport to visit Dennis, Holly and Aidan in Easton, CT. Maureen and Eileen joined me and then we drove south to Rye Brook for Mimi and Poppy, Stephen and Nancy. Even dipped my toes in Long Island Sound. Great short visit.

Great Wisconsin Weekend
Saturday - Osseo for a launch party for a new WPT show: "Around the Farm Table." Met an old buddy from decades past and a friend we'd met in DC, as well as many other interesting folks from the area.
Sunday - from Reedsburg, biked half of the Farm Art DTour and drove the other half after having our butts kicked by killer hills. BEAUTIFUL and fascinating tour of a rural "cultureshed." Installations included field notes, roadside poetry, vendors, art works, and spectacular views of fall colored hillsides and farms.

Welcome, September
What an amazing first day of September!
Opened the Northside Farmer's Market with Ack; harvested more from our deep wealth of zinnias (grown for Erin and Al's July wedding but peaking in August instead); sailed my little Expedition for the first time in a long time; Ack sold the dinghy a day after he posted on Craig's List; and Bob (stepson of good friend Jo Shuman) stayed with us on his route from Seattle to New York.
Forgot to ask his last name! Vosper, perhaps? Here's his journey blog on Track My Tour:

Best part of the evening -- out on the pontoon with Margaret, Meg, Bob and me and Ack to watch the annual lighted boat parade but, as Bob put it, a lightening storm off in the distance stole the show. Huge cloud over Lake Michigan (90 miles away!) that showed awesome flashes for hours. The stars on the way back were a close second - beautiful night.
