Worth Quoting
"Large corporations are using their overpowering capital to annihilate small
businesses and turn our towns into their colonies, and it is quite the same
process that impoverished much of the third world. It is a kind of
self-colonialism: America's corporations are turning upon their own
countrymen."

| Notes from my back porch... You've been telling me that subscribing to this newsletter is like getting a much-needed "dose" of New England every week. Many of you have once lived here (like those of you from the West Coast or the South who are keenly missing the fall foliage right about now), others have visited briefly but have never forgotten (I particularly remember the kind email one gentleman who wrote from Japan, and another woman from Russia who fondly reminisced her trip to Vermont many years ago). Other subscribers do live here and want a reminder of how lucky we are to live in this special area of the country. I must say I'm pretty lucky myself -- not only to live here but to share all the sights, sounds and tastes of northern New England with you every week. :) This is truly a labor of love for me and I want to thank you all for subscribing and sharing why New England is close to your heart. ~ m. Our Stories This Week: New Englander Essay: How I Got "Wyethed" (by Maine resident and painter, Brian Kliewer) "I grew up in "Wyeth Country" here in Maine (which encompasses an area of the Midcoast that has been home to three generations of Wyeths).

Mid- to late-October is the time to plant individual cloves of garlic in the ground in northern New England so September is the time to make sure you have cloves to plant. Read on... In Season Recipe: Spaghetti with Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes By Charlie Burke This recipe uses roasting to concentrate the different flavors of a mix of our tomatoes. Although they roast for a couple of hours, the hands-on time of preparation is quite short, and it takes little additional effort to make enough for several meals. Freezing it enables peak of season tomatoes to be enjoyed on the coldest winter day. Click here for Spaghetti with Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes recipe... Mark Your Calendar: September 30 & October 1 Corn shucking, barn dancing, hot-spiced cider & homemade donuts...what more can you ask for in a Vermont Harvest Festival?
