It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an action packed weekend, all in a wonderful way. I was the kind of bone tired last night that you welcome after getting some rewarding work done… out like a light at 8pm, I was. Saturday was filled with meeting and greeting neighbors old and new, catching up with friends and family and getting rid of “stuff” we didn’t need here at this old house. We had a tag sale out front and it was well worth the effort. The weather was a perfect mix of fall foliage with the aroma of fading leaves and pine needles, some sunshine and a little chill in the air. A big thank you to Joleen and Lynn for joining in, it made the day so much more enjoyable.
Sunday I got up bright and early. The girlchild took care of the critters for me so I could head to Hammonasset Beach to photograph the Run For The Cove. A wonderful couple I’ve known for many years founded this organization in, I believe, 1995 and it has grown in ways unimaginable… an incredible source of support for grieving children who have lost a parent or family member.. to learn more about THE COVE center for Grieving Children, visit HERE Again, the weather was fall-chilly-beautiful and oh, how very uplifting these people and this event always are.
The reason I don’t have any adult runner pics available is because I mistakenly hit the RAW
button and shot every image in jpeg and raw, which is a huge file. Guess who filled her
camera card before the event was over, and forgot to bring another.
*sigh*
Thankfully there were other photographers on hand and they assured me they would complete
the photographing with adult runner pics.
Live and learn.
Then it was off to Parmelee Farm in Killingworth to help with the First Annual Pumpkin Carving Party organized by the Parm Farm Steering Committee. Sponsors were the Killingworth Lions Club, Pizzeria DaVinci and the Killingworth Chamber of Commerce. What a fun day! So many families came to participate and the smiles and happy chatter and laughter were a breath of fresh air.
A giant leaf corral bordered by hay bales was a big hit with the littles…
There was some awesome artwork among the pumpkins…
A Big THANK YOU to all who helped make this happen,
and to all those awesome families who came out to LIGHT THE NIGHT!
The Spirit of Community.. .it’s a beautiful thing.
Don’t pass up the opportunities in your area to join efforts like these,

It’s a new day, all ….
