After holding on for so long, the last of the fall leaves are on the ground and signs of the transition into winter are beginning to appear. We now see a few snow flurries in the air and ice forming on the ponds and shoreline.
There’s not much color in the landscape, but it is November, a month when you have to appreciate the subtleties of nature.
Island life becomes quieter now. A few more of the seasonal businesses are closing their doors for the winter and will take some time to enjoy hearth and home. Sievers is quiet and busy at the same time as we’re preparing for our 2018 season. Between this season and then, we wish you some quiet time with all your favorite fibers.

Thank you, Lynne. Merry Christmas to you and Ed. Being here in late October, I’m sure you’ve gotten a sense of the quiet the Island possesses.
