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.
