I spent a lot of time this past summer reading. Because of the considerable amount of rain, my gardening took a back seat. I happened to read and reread some of Andy Rooney’s books. Many of you may remember Andy from a segment at the end of “60 Minutes” every week.

When most people think about October, they think about the leaves changing color and cooler temperatures. But did you know that October is National Seafood Month?

I may be showing my age, but I remember The Brothers Four singing “Try to Remember” on television years ago. Whether it was on “The Ed Sullivan Show” or “Hootenanny” I can’t recall.

The humidity is off the charts. My garden is overgrown and the buds on my flowers are begging for consistent sunshine. I have read a lot — so much that the librarian knows me by name when I run into her at the supermarket.

I sometimes sit and think about the people I have met, the recipes they have shared with me, and the interesting roads folks have taken to Harpswell.
