A little bit of this and a whole lotta nothing.

In case I don’t say it often enough, I love my little Maine town.

Keep your boring lost dogs and cats, we have befuddled bovines.

And free flowers.

Is it any wonder we love living here?

Bored by sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room the other day I scrolled my phone and stumbled on a stupid “What would a Barbie from your state look like?” site.

Maine Barbie goes hiking… in a mini skirt with perfectly coiffed hair.

I’ve been hiking in Maine. Trust me, women do not look like this.

On the other hand, they had my birth state of New Jersey down pat.

Jersey Barbie has bling.. and attitude to spare.

Yes, I’m posting about grapes.

But not just any grapes.

Margarita grapes.

You’re welcome.

I haven’t had a chance to make these yet, but they sound perfect for summer…

The life of a Maine lobsterman is hard… and often lonely. As evidenced by this picture taken of my husband’s nephew.

I had to smile at this news item.

What do you want to bet that chuck wasn’t injured, just craving a beer?

And speaking of chucks…

Thankfully this one is still too short to nibble on my day lilies.

How wonderful is this? Free bouquets.

I love my town.

Random drivel.

Have you ever felt like the sugar is judging your breakfast choices?

Yes I had the blueberry pancakes and bacon. No attitude necessary.

I thought I might cry.

I tried not to cry.

I cried.

Damn you Ed Sheeran.

If ever there was a perfectly named food for its targeted consumer, this is it.

Runaway chicken alerts.

I love my town.

Warning signs are helpful.

The little Maine town in which we live is a wonderful place.

Small and quiet. Rural and filled with family farms.

It’s a peaceful, sparsely populated area surrounded by the natural beauty of water, woods, and wildlife.

The people are salt of the earth, always willing to lend a hand or a dollar. There’s a marvelous sense of community here … we look out for each other.

Which is evidenced by the new sign the town put up just outside of the village, down the road from the pub.

Beware of drunken pedestrians.

A helpful warning to be sure.

🤣

Headlines from my little corner of the world.

Bring Your Goat to Work Day probably isn’t a real thing, but damn … it should be.

Excellent ad copy Jason. If I ever need help getting plowed, you’re the man.

Busted!

That’s black gold right there. Highly sought after…

Scenic Cape Porpoise

May 24, 2022 Rivergirl 16 Comments

When your husband is newly retired and it’s a beautiful spring day? You take a drive along the Maine coast just because you can.

Cape Porpoise is a small village in the town of Kennebunkport on the southern coast.

It’s quintessentially Maine and therefore ruggedly beautiful.

No words necessary, just enjoy the ride.

Is it any wonder we live in this state?

As we’ve previously established, my small rural Maine town has a sense of humor. This was on full display today when I saw an offer of services on the town’s Facebook page.

While I would have appreciated a good Mother in Law trap back in the day, the picture in this post will probably give me nightmares of the inevitable beaver uprising for weeks to come.

While we had an extremely mild winter with very little snow this year, we did have rain. And ice. And more rain. Which lead to rapid melting, soft earth, mud and occasional washouts. Imagine driving over this section of road?

Yikes.
