some pictures from our frost-heave-and-pothole-filled drive through maine and new hampshire this weekend.

follow me on instagram at "roscorichmond", and happy monday!

stuck on the bridge

it's so nice having the new bridge open, but i had forgotten about the delays ...the span is raised every half hour for boats to pass, and if you hit it at the wrong time, late for work! 

i took a few pictures the other morning waiting for the bridge to come down.

fall is in the air tonight! happy thursday!

windsor fair!

o.k., you might want to get yourself a cup of coffee and find a good seat, because this is going to be a photo extravaganza!  here are some pictures from the windsor fair!

first of all, you know you're in windsor when you see this sign. for real!

we always like to go on the last day of the fair, partially because it is so hilarious to see all of the shriveled up brown vegetables with their blue ribbons!!

then there are the exhibition halls full of crafts. i really liked these hooked rugs. i think that chicken is amazing!

next is the museum with an old general store, different period rooms and this extra creepy military exhibit...

there's the one-room schoolhouse with "a student". come on! couldn't they do a little something about this hair-do?? now to mention her arms were on backwards.............

in the 4-H building we learned that there is lots of fun to be had with baby chicks!

 

lots of great ticky-tacky-ness! and don't forget the rides!! the last time we went to the fair we all decided to go on a ride which made us all so sick that we had to leave.  never again!!

we can't forget to mention the food! i think maybe they should say "ridiculously BAD FOR YOU"!!  but sadly, they're probably DELICIOUS!!  

and now for the real reason you go to the fair...ADORABLE ANIMALS!!!

the sheep are so sweet with their little smiling faces...

how cute is this little banty rooster??!!

how now, brown cow! 

ok, now the best for last! wait for it...........

BABY PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

last day of vacation...

a few more shots from our stay-cation!

a fun, relaxing, good- food-filled week! tomorrow, back to reality, which will include a lot of crafting, as i have a few orders to finish up.

enjoy your sunday, and thanks for looking at my blog!!!!!

shun-piking

yesterday we took a drive off the beaten path, "shun-piking" as my parents would say. we ended up finding this little lighthouse at squirrel point! we followed a poorly marked trail through the woods, wondering the whole time if we were actually going to find anything at all, but we finally came across these abandoned caretakers buildings and the lighthouse! just gorgeous!

the day couldn't have been more perfect. sunny, 70's, no humidity, no bugs(!) . AND, there was a bald eagle fishing there in the bay! so beautiful!

we had lunch overlooking sheepscot bay. it's nice having a stay-cation here in maine, "vacationland"!

crab rolls-yummy!

yesterday since it was hotter than blazes, we went to chauncey creek lobster pier for lunch.

here i am breaking my "don't drink beer in the afternoon even though it seems like a good idea because you get tired and cranky" rule. (it was so good though!) and the crab roll was deeeee-licious!

all the surfaces were freshly painted and shiny and made for some great picture taking.

cool breeze, cool place, cool food!
