After a summer that began too dry, fall is ending too wet! Thankfully the harvest is complete and most fieldwork is done because it would be tricky being on the land now.
October ended with rain and November began with snow.
Fortunately Oct. 31 was exceptionally nice for kids to enjoy Halloween. We had about 35 kids and we enjoyed seeing each one. Because Halloween was on a nice Saturday it began earlier in the day and seemed to end earlier at night. In Rabbit Lake it was quiet with no evidence of any pranks being played.
Winter quilting begins Nov. 2 and continues for the winter. This is a library project. If you are interested in more information, contact Donna German or Lynn Morrison.
Nov. 6 will be a busy evening. Larry Krause will be in concert at the Rabbit Lake Community Hall. This should be an enjoyable evening of entertainment. Also the Sandwith Hall board is holding a turkey bingo with a potluck supper and silent auction. The supper is at 6 p.m. and the bingo begins at 7 p.m.
It seems like the fall activities are beginning. Old-time dance lessons are being held in Resolute, Mayfair and Medstead. Dancing is a good form of exercise.
It is not often one can watch TV and see someone who they know, but not so for people here in Rabbit Lake. The kickoff of Holiday Baking Championship, a baking show on the Food Network, was Nov. 1. One of the contestants was Steven Konopelski.
Steven is the son of Jessie and the late Sam Konopelski and grew up about 15 miles south. He now lives in New York, N.Y., and is a professional pastry chef. As this is an elimination show it was good to see Steven make it through round one. I am sure his mom will be cheering him on next Sunday!
So now that November is here I wonder how many people will rush to get the Christmas lights up before the real cold weather hits. I know that is on my to-do list. Is it too much to ask for things to be nice until after Remembrance Day?
