Picture

Greetings, Blog Readers!

The lovely picture above was sent to me by Ron and Kathy S. from Clifton, VA. Ron and Kathy stayed here in mid-October for 4 nights. As you can see, some of the leaf colors were still vibrant at that time (maybe due to so much rain in June).

This coming weekend Inn at Long Lake hosts its 19th Annual Holiday Craft Show. I enjoy this event. It is refreshing to see some of the local artisans who have such passion for their crafting (jewelry, lamp shades, sewn items, wood products--the list is endless). Plus, my Mom (Elaine---perhaps most famous for Elaine's Pistachio Coffee Cake) will be coming up with her knitted mittens and scarves. Many locals pass through the inn to get some early holiday shopping done. Always nice to say "Hello" to them.

Now is the time, by the way, to maybe to begin looking at some holiday appetizers on your favorite food sites. Of course, bring your specialty---but take the next step forward and try something new

That's all for today. Thanks again to Ron & Kathy for the memory of Autumn in New England!

Your Maine Innkeeper,

Keith A. Neubert
