It’s time to look forward to fall foliage in Poland Maine. With summer winding down and the “dog days” of August hopefully in the rearview mirror, I for one, am eager for the change. When the first splotch of color appears across the lake, and dusk brings a faint cool to the air, foliage season is not far behind. Truth be told, fall arrives in the waning days of August here at Wolf Cove Inn, and lingers into early November. Bright reds, yellows and oranges seem to paint the landscape slowly. It begins with a single tree in late August and erupts into the rich hues of autumn throughout September. And then, by Columbus Day, color reaches its peak with all the vibrant hues. Finally, the pastels trickle leisurely away right into November.
“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze.
The sweet chill of pumpkin and crisp sunburnt leaves.”
