Here's a great way to start your day - these two happy faces are our granddaughters, Tangeni Sierra, 13 weeks, and Jo-Ann Ann, 12 years. Their mom said they were playing "bad hair day."

Rainy day, but like we say here, a rainy day at Joe's Pond is better than a sunny day anywhere else. There's always something interesting to do, no matter what the weather. Already I've made several phone calls and answered some e-mails, and that gets my day started nicely!

Don't forget that the Apple Pie Festival is this Saturday at the Cabot School Gym. It is the Cabot Historical Society's only fund raiser, so we hope you'll join the fun and either enter a pie in the contest, make one for us to sell, or come buy one - or a piece, or lunch. Games, crafts, food and fun for the whole family, all day, and it's inside, so no need to worry about the weather!
