Have you ventured over to the island lately? It’s such a perfect time of year: the weather is cooler, the light is golden, the crowds are smaller, and the fall colors are bursting. Bring a car and plan an outing to our local pumpkin patch to choose your perfect pumpkins and locally grown squash and gourds. Karen sometimes even has freshly baked pumpkin pies if you’re lucky enough to get there before they sell out. You can swing by the pumpkin walk at Bainbridge Gardens on your way into town and when you’re ready to recharge, be sure to pop into Bainbridge Apothecary & Tea Shop , a new addition to our charming family of unique downtown shops. All decked out for autumn with festive fall decorations, you can choose a simple and delicious hot or iced tea, or treat yourself to a full afternoon tea service complete with finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and jam and, of course, sweets. They also offer a full range of tonics, elixirs, herbal remedies, gifts, and locally made products. It’s an absolute world away from what is happening in so many places these days and such a breath of fresh air. I just know you will enjoy the break.

Pinkies up, witches!
