Greetings! I must apologize for not keeping up with the blog from September through November, I was at home on maternity leave with our newest addition, James Martin.
I'm grateful that I have wonderful assistants who managed to keep things running smoothly and take some photos while they were at it! Many thanks to Marilyn, Annie, and Mary for all their hard work this fall - I don't think anyone appreciates it more than me!
I'm happy to be back at work and promise to keep the blog updated as well as the delivery of the monthly calendars.The pictures below are some of many that capture the highlights from the autumn and early winter season.
Enjoy!
