fall

I have lots of friends who are in the HVAC business and they all start to dread the cold season. Primarily because people go 6+ months without running their homes heating systems and they wait until the house gets COLD to fire them up for the first time...

All across the northeast, 2018 has been the year of the squirrel...and it's far from over.

Fall in Maine is definitely the best of Maine.

We're still a few weeks away from peak season, but it's getting closer. If you're headed to the Fryeburg Fair this weekend, a swing on routes 117, 4, 5, and 302 will give you many colors. Still, a run up to Houlton, or the Moosehead region will have the best sights in Maine...

Maine's most famous fall fair runs from October 1 through October 8 this year. Here's what you have to look forward to!

The colors definitely have exploded throughout Maine and 'Moose Nation' has captured them in all their glory. We asked listeners to share, some pics they took this weekend, on our facebook page. Above is a gallery of a few of them. Please feel free to share yours on our facebook page, as well...

Now, that the unofficial end of summer is here, Maine.gov is getting ready with updates to help leaf peepers plan their foliage trips with updated weekly foliage reports.

The Weather Company, has just released their temperature forecast for September, October and November and they are saying temperatures will be above normal for us here in Maine.

As I sat on my deck yesterday, alone and in the quiet, I got melancholy. I took in a deep, cool breath and suddenly got an insatiable urge. No, not to write a poem. To do something else. It is THIS that was the impetus for the latest installment of my alter ego's feature, "The Poetry Man."

As I look out my window, I see fall, not just the season but the falling temps and the falling leaves. How do you take care of the fallen leaves in your yard?

Wow, what a weekend. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. On the last weekend of September we get August heat. What did you do? I spend quite a bit of time outdoors either playing of working.

September! It is almost fall in New England. Maine conservation officials say they're expecting a vibrant fall foliage season. So it is time for the  weekly fall foliage report. The reports will start on Sept. 10 and run through Oct. 25. So, what to expect…officials say that conditions in northern Maine meant that residents and visitors will likely see subtle color changes and low leaf drop. Read

As Renee and I were discussing the danger of just walking outside in this icy weather, she suddenly blurted out, "that's why I'm wearing my Yak Trax...

I love TV. I admit it. With back to school upon us, now comes my favorite time of the year.  The new television season! Things get rolling this this week. Thanks to Hulu and Netflix, I have done an amazing job of watching older shows I have wanted to see, I am looking forward to some new entertainment.

Well, the nights have been pretty chilly since early/mid August and now, although I love the crisp weather, I don't like what it ushers in. I don't like putting away and winterizing the boat and camper. I used the boat four times and didn't spend a single night in the camper. Soon, they'll both covered in a blanket of snow and ice....for almost 9 months! YIKES! That's a long freakin' time! Re
