Melissa and I went on a drive after she got home from work today. We ended up buying two Blueberry bushes at Broadway Gardens. When we got home we pulled up all the Marigolds (don't worry Dad I saved a bunch of seeds for you), and planted the new bushes. At the advice of my Dad I raked a pile of pine needles up from the next door neighbor's yard... they've moved and won't be missing their needles. According to Dad the needles will add acidity to the soil over the winter and Blueberry bushes do best with acidic soil. That make sense to me if you think about it the places where you find wild blueberries growing is often in woodsy areas.

Blueberry Bushes
Two Lives, One Path
Melissa and I went to the Wedding of Nikki and Matt Duplisea this past Saturday at St Patrick's Church. The wedding was lovely. It was the first wedding we've gone to since our own wedding and the reception was also at the Italian Heritage Center. Their Wedding party was huge in comparison to ours (compare the two) . We found it challenging to organize our wedding with only 4 brides maids and groomsmen. They had 10 of each! We wish them well on there trip to Italy and on all their years together to come.

Fryeburg Fair
On Monday Oct 2nd Melissa and I went to the Fryeburg Fair. I had never been before. Monday was Woodsman's day. They had a bunch of contests like a race to chop a 10x10 timber in half with an axe. The winner did it in like less than 30 seconds. I think it would have taken me all day. There were also a lot of farm animals, horses, cows, pigs, sheep, etc. Those work horses are a lot bigger than you realize. Their ass is like 6 feet tall. We also got italian sausages, fries, fried dough. We didn't buy any real souveniers... It gets expensive just to go. We brought the camera but in the end didn't take many pictures. Here's a scenic view near where we parked the car. Fryeburg looks like a beutiful place to live, half an hour from where Melissa grew up. I don't know if I could stand the commute though.
Apple picking
Last Saturday on September 30th, Melissa, Dan, Tiffany, Cheryl, Dan, Deidre, Dave and I went apple picking up in Cornish. There was this Cornish Apple Festival going on. It was fun until I accidently hit Deidre in the face with an apple... Sorry. Later Melissa baked a pie... Mmmm
