I cut the remaining garden flowers today. Only the daisies had outlasted the cool nights.

After breakfast at L130 in Shapleigh, we came home, reorganized and headed to Bailey Island and the Land's End Gift Shop. I wanted some new placemats and that's the only place I have found the ones I like. It's only a 90 minute trip up the coast, past Brunswick, then down one of the many fingers of land the poke into Casco Bay.

Who's a good girl? |
We went adventuring today since it's the ONLY day we can travel to see the fall colors before a big storm comes on Friday and blows all the leaves off!
We left around 11:00 heading to Bridgton, ME. We stopped at the Sokokis Lake overlook, probably the best color we saw all day.
We found a good place to stop next to the Denmark Municipal Building to get her out and sure enough, she peed and pooped. There happened to be a port-a-potty there, recently cleaned, so we all got to go to the bathroom. ;o)
In Bridgton, we took a left onto Rt 302 and headed toward Fryeburg. We had no idea that we were so close to Shawnee Peak Ski Area.

Went through Fryeburg, on to No. Conway. We got lunch at Burger King, then drove through town (big mistake, but the side road was closed due to construction), which took waaaay too long, to the Mt. Washington Valley overlook.
The table we wanted, in the grass, had two little yappers at the table next to it, so we took a table near the parking area. Tessa was tied to the table, we put down a towel and she got a nice Kong bone full of cheese, while we ate our luckwarm burgers and fries. For some reason, it was very hazy and although there was some nice color in the distance, we couldn't see it very clearly.
It was a really nice day, temps around 70*, mostly high thin clouds and we avoided the heavy traffic areas. We saw some nice color but nothing like the spectacular ride we took in 2019.

Bill was eating ice cream and Tessa was very attentive, waiting to lick the bowl.

A little blog about being retired and living with a rescued shelter dog. I might even throw in an occasional musing about quilting and quilts.
