Well, September brought more nice weather and another visitor. My sister Nancy flew in and spent a week with us. We had a chance to show her a little of Maine and enjoy some of the sights we've been enjoying for months. Of course we took her out to Pemaquid Point and the Atlantic Ocean was putting on a show for us with a high tide and some nice waves breaking over the rocks.
We were able to enjoy a beautiful day in the sunshine and see a beautiful part of Maine.
This is the lighthouse that is on the back of the Maine quarter. We think that this is one of the places that represent what Maine is; a beautiful lighthouse on the rocky coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
We also went to one of the few sandy beaches in Maine. Most of the coast line is very rocky and steep. After one of our long days, Ruby thought Nancy needed a little love so she took it upon herself to provide it. Such a sweet & thoughtful pup!
Of course, when in Maine you need to eat fresh lobster. We got her a nice one right here in the park and I didn't cook it so it must of been good because she ate it all. Well most of it...she didn't eat the shell or the green stuff. Later we had a fantastic fire and had a chance to sit around and talk and relax.
After Nancy went home Holly and I went out to Pemaquid Point with Ruby and Brutus for a picnic. Ruby and Brutus love going for rides and getting out for day trips. We had a nice lunch, sat and read our books and just enjoyed the sun and ocean.
We took a couple of days and went to Cape Cod Massachusetts to visit the Corp of Engineers visitor center at the Cape Cod Canal. The canal is part of the inland passageway. The visitor center is very nice and has some great displays including a Corp Of Engineer patrol boat that was used on the canal. The canal is used by many different types of boats from recreational boaters to large ocean-going vessels. While we were there we saw this Coast Guard cutter go through the canal.
Well that's all for September. Our time here is getting shorter and we'll be heading home for a little while and then on to new adventures in Arizona. So, just like this lobster, I'm all done... see you next month.
