Rainiest Summer in Maine on Record 2023

It kind of looks like a painting.

And maybe that's why we have tons of artist living on the coast.

But

Below is how the summer really played out.

FOGGY AND GREY ALMOST EVERYDAY.

A Charming Cape -  You just can't find it.

Again...this would make a great painting.

But who would sail in it? 

Not me.

But this is day to day life this summer in Maine.

We didn't have much of a tourist season as you might imagine.

If you like to Kayak.....

Above represents an almost nice day....You could manage a hike without mud boots.

For me , when I look at this walking path I only see TICKS.  

Yes, there are so many ticks.

I am definitely a city girl.

Plants belong in pots and all streets should be paved,

and next to the paved street should be a concrete sidewalk.

 I just can't help it. I don't like dirt on my shoes.

I don't like living far away from everything.

To pick up a container of milk it's 9 miles there and 9 miles back.

And don't get me started on how long every drive takes.

(Forget getting your Ben & Jerry's home without melting !)

And let's not leave out the beautiful 

but darting deer ...

Early morning & dusk heart attacks for me!!!

I think I would trade all this beauty for an occasional traffic jam.

Let's face it I would actually spend less time driving 

and in the car with a minor back up in traffic.

And I would get my Ice Cream home and it would be just right!👌

I end this post with the fact that Maine is a beautiful place 

with great people.

I just prefer my plants potted.

Just Moved Back To Mid-Coast Maine

I just moved back to Mid-Coast Maine in an area called St. George.

Spruce Head. 

It is a beautiful area.

I came back to be with and care for my Mom.

She needs help now, things can be over whelming when you are 86.

Since I arrived on June 3, 2023 it has rained, been cold and is extremely foggy.

I am not a happy camper.

And now this is where I want to be.
