September Greetings!
We are getting ready to launch our new website this month, and I really wanted to postpone this newsletter until we were ready, but I can't! There is so much fun stuff going on this month and you need to know about some of it sooner than later, so I just couldn't wait a moment longer!
Speaking of the website, some of you had expressed interest in writing a short testimonial for us to use on our catering, or other pages. If any of you would do that, it would mean the world to us! It does not need to be long or involved, just a sentence or two telling us why you love the cafe', or a certain service that you were provided. We need it to be in writing, have your name on it, and a quick line of permission for us to use it. Email works fine, or you can drop it off at the cafe'. Thank you very much to those of you who brought it up!
I have really noticed this last week of August that, in spite of the warm sun and clear skies, there is a bit of an autumnal chill just starting to be in the air. This means that we are approaching my favorite time of year! The skies are bluer, the trees will begin to turn colors, the harvest season brings us new and wonderful produce, and even the air smells better.
In the cafe' we will be having more pumpkin soups and apples will be abundant in desserts and salads. Mushrooms, carrots, late onions and squash will all be coming out of the ground and many of them will be brought to us by our organic farmer, Paul Gregory, of Gregory's Produce.
We usually have gorgeous weather in the fall and there is still enough daylight to have fun! We will soon be building our winter nests and getting cozy indoors, so get outside and enjoy this gorgeous place we live as often as you can!

HAVE YOU MET SHARON?
Sharon is our retail manager and she keeps us all in line. She does most of the ordering, keeps supplies stocked and organized, opens the cafe' on weekdays, and rules us all with an iron fist! Ok, maybe the fist is more like silly putty than iron... but she has helped us figure out all kinds of stuff in this first 16 months of operations, and we are so very grateful to have her as part of our family. One of my most favorite things about Sharon is her laugh! No matter what is happening in my day, if I hear her burst out with that beautiful laugh it makes me smile. So the next time you come in tell her a joke, so the rest of us can smile!
