French Mountain, Rome, Maine

There's a new loop trail on French Mountain

I love bringing people here - everyone loves it.



Beautiful views for an easy, short hike.



It's Apple Time at North Star Orchards, Madison, ME

Judy in front of the store with the pumpkins and mums

Sisters in the apple orchard

It always seems to rain whenever we go to get apples.

In search of the view - it was too foggy to see much

You can try different varieites.  We all bought Mac's.  Definitely the best apples I've had yet this year.

Raf wanted to drive the tractor

But he ended up pushing it instead.

We got to take this fun tractor ride.

Common Ground Country Fair, Maine

A wonderful way to celebrate the fall is with a trip to the Common Ground Fair

You can buy all kinds of good food.

Lots of people wear Sweet Annie Crowns.

They wear all kinds of fun things.

We took a wagon ride.

More funny hats.

The kids always have a good time.

My favorite - the llamas!

Katie & Raf enjoy the strawberry cream puffs.

I always try some of the lamb.

Judy likes to check out the wool.

And the yarn too.

Judy and I sampled the Apple Pie Cones.  Delicious!

Visit to Good Karma Farm - Belfast, Maine

I have always been a llama lover.

So when the Waterville Area Newcomer's craft group planned a trip to Good Karma Farm I was so excited.

We learned how the yarn was made.

Then got to see the alpacas.  Their legs remind me of a poodle cut.

I loved this little baby.

                                                                    What a sweetie!

Back in Maine

Its so good to be back in Maine....

To be able to go to 'The Fiber Frolic'

Eat Lobster...

See old friends...

Spend time with Judy and Sarah

Enjoy the butterflies in my garden

Grow some veggies

Lobster Dinner

I went to a party a few weeks ago, and this is what we had for dinner. Clam chowder, mussels, lobster, corn on the cob, onions and potatoes cooked on the grill, whoopie pies and blueberry buckle for desert. Maine - the way life should be.

Learning to Fly Fish

I went to the Kennebec Valley's Chapter of Trout Unlimited 'Fly Casting for Women' day. It was held in Winslow, Maine on a restored section of the beautiful Sebasticook River.

Jackie had all the right attire.

We learned how to tie flies. Twila wants to catch a striper.

All I caught was my sweatshirt, but it was a lot of fun, the instructors were great, but casting was not easy.
