“delicous”
No, indeed there IS nothing like eating a delicious ear of corn. And maybe I’m just letting my inner copy editor have too much control, but I can’t help but point out that the sign maker did not spell delicious the conventional way. Maybe spelling’s just a silly construct?

addendum
Here’s what happens when you get someone with a piece of cardboard, a marker, and some big opinions.
I don’t know why the year that LL Bean was established was redacted on the mural. If I had a marker and the opportunity, I’d add 1912 over the redaction board (a term I just made up) just so passersby had complete information.

north star
The clouds that brought snow the night before were breaking up…and I enjoyed the contrast between the softness of those clouds and the hard edges of a building at the orchard. The scene appealed to me. A lot. It appealed to me a lot. And then later, I noticed how the North Star sign and star snuck their way into the picture. Good work, sign!

equinox, with snow
It was snowing that night when we got back from dinner. My companions, all of whom live in New England, just went to their rooms. They’d seen snow and this was just one more normal night for them.
I stayed outside and watched the snow, took some pictures, and got really cold. (In case you were wondering what sort of dork I am.)
