BF called me at work yesterday and mentioned that dinner was taken care of. I got home, and we hopped in the car. We headed toward Gorham, at which point I became very confused, as we don’t jointly know anyone that lives out in that direction. It took me a few more miles before I […]

It was the work summer outing today, so we wandered up the coast to Wolfes Neck Farm, for a low key afternoon of relaxing and barbeque goodness. We were smack in the middle of the farm, with sheep, and oreo cows, and turkeys, and chickens – the kind of things that delight my urban little

Sunday’s adventure, for something close to home, but a little different, was the Mail Boat Run – three hours cruising Casco Bay. We packed a lunch, and enjoyed the scenery and the cool breeze. We actually managed to see a seal, who kindly did a full length dive for us, and plenty of sea birds.
I’m on vacation for the next seven business days (a week and extra – woo!), and the first three, I’m on my own. So I started the fun with my annualish by my self trip shopping to Kittery (score of the day: a cashmere short-sleeved sweater, original price $119, marked down and discounted to $29

On the first of summer, I headed to the beach. I arrived not long after 6:00, so got about a good hour and a half of wandering in before heading back to my car to get out before the gates closed. It was a really lovely day. There was a stiff sea breeze, but it

The peonies are blooming at Gilsland Farm. Actually, they’re a little behind most of the peonies in they city, which are starting to go by. Being the woods next to the ocean definitely has some advantages in keeping back bloom times.

The final really cool thing about our weekend Downeast was the lupine. They were absolutely out in full while we were driving around, and for some reason, they’re better viewed up there. It’s not that we don’t have them here in the south, but they seem to grow better in people’s yards, so you’re more
