Brettuns Village Trunks & Leather Old Trunks, New Leather.  All from Maine. June 3, 2010 I noticed recently that when that alarm starts clanging at 5 am it’s already light outside, which is standard for this time of year up Maine way.  It’s a toss up – are the crows louder than the alarm clock,…

Brettuns Village Trunks & Leather Old Trunks, New Leather.  All from Maine. September 16, 2009 Sometimes in January up here in Maine you can find yourself wishing for just a little bit of humdiddy (humidity to those of you who have the misfortune to live outside of Maine) so that your lungs can relax a…

Brettuns Village Trunks & Leather Old Trunks, New Leather.  All from Maine. August 19, 2009 Today is the 19th?  What happened to the first half of August? Where’d it go? You seen it over your way, Eben?  I guess it went uptacamp or to Florder to soak up heat or something.  Mid August – that…

Brettuns Village Trunks & Leather Old Trunks, New Leather.  All from Maine. July 30, 2009 28 hours without rain – a new record this summer.  It�s looking like we may have just run through our best stretch of summer weather for the year.  Just great. Luckily, we were able to take advantage of it by…
