~Susan and Didder in Maine ~ I took a page out of Dana’s book and played hooky Monday afternoon to ride with an old friend. 
Before I left work, I signed out “Back at 8 Tues – GOLFING” so today my boss signed out “Back at 8 Wed – RIDING.” Literally, overnight the fall colors emerged in my neck of the woods. 
I have never seen anything like it. Usually it comes on in a slow wave and leaves in a faster one, generally during a rainstorm. I really didn't think we were going to get any color this year. 
Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. 
Check out this maple.
My Curly boy Didder was truly awesome. Jane and I were gabbing so much that I couldn't believe it when we scared up a big doe almost right beside us. She gave us a good show, running directly in front of us and bounding away through the woods. Other than in Acadia where the deer are tame, this was the closest we have come to deer. Ah-D didn't even flinch, Grace didn't chase, and Jane and I had a great view. Perfect.
Here's my buddy Jane on Ah-D's buddy Allie. Jane and I have been riding together since before high school and between us we have nine kids. So that is my excuse for gabbing. :)
This was a day to keep in the memory banks.
