    The colors this year in Maine and New Hampshire have been the best we remember; I think it is a product of the weird summer weather and late warmth.

    Yesterday was a beautiful fall day, and we had a big push to get the last of our plants and bulbs planted in the Lynn Woods Rose Garden. Everyone in the group is so nice, and the spirit of cooperation and camaraderie is just wonderful. We seem to operate with a very loose, benignly chaotic structure, and it's working remarkably well! People do what they can when they can, and the unstructured nature keeps it feeling like play and not work, although we get an impressive amount of work done! I am so grateful to be part of this group and a participant in this project!

    My "rave" is not really a rave but an admission of submission--because we're being extra careful about food with DH on chemo, I finally broke down and got a salad spinner--and I think it was rosa who told me there are collapsible ones, so that's what I got. Tried it on a few greens and it works great! And I was able find a place to store it.

    So please welcome me into the Salad Spinner Fan Club!
    That's great, Catherine, and a warm welcome to the club! I'm a big fan of the collapsible kitchen products. We have a funnel and a pour-over that are collapsible. The metal funnel always used to jam up the drawer, so that was a tiny annoyance solved.

    Beautiful colors in my area now as well. Just wish the rain would hold off so I can go out and enjoy it more.

    We have maybe 2” on the ground overnight and a winter storm warning that starts at 9pm for lake effect off Lake Michigan. I’m on the edge so probably only a few inches.

    Japan is my favorite place to visit. I love the food, the safety, the cleanliness, the hotels and onsens, the people, the shopping, the food, the food, etc. The only downside is the long trip to get there.

    It was difficult feeling like I was 3 years old when it came to communicating but never found any negative or nasty people. Several people on the street stopped to help when we looked confused.

    Nice story: We were on a walking tour when I saw a fabric shop. I was oohing and ahing over the beautiful fabric in bins on the sidewalk and trying to speed up buying something. Of course the walking group did not stop. The shop owner ran after me and gave me a beautiful handmade purse. Dont know why but it was a highlight of our interactions with shop owners.

    Sweetana: Did you like the food? You listed it 3 times so it must have been amazing!

    Same!! We were going to visit my DD for her 40th birthday, but we are weighing the decision at this point. We were really surprised to wake up to snow, since it was so nice out yesterday.

    I got in to see my doctor (well, nurse practitioner) within 48 hours for a non-urgent visit. This is a direct patient care practice.I don’t use it often but I find them to be very responsive.
