Recent "doings"

My African violets are certainly happy summer is here. This is my most generously-blossomed one. It hadn't bloomed for a couple of years, so I moved it to a north window and voila! It's happy now.

  

We went to the Montsweag Flea Market up the coast near Bath and Wiscasset on Sunday. It was a perfect day to be poking around at a flea market, but I found nothing I couldn't resist. Ken found a couple of antique auto treasures, so he came home happy.

Before we came home, though, we did a couple of other things.

First, we went to the Wiscasset Antique Mall. I enjoy looking all old treasures, although I seldom add to my already-abundant collection of "stuff."

This door certainly caught my eye: Someone was inspired to cover the glass of this old door with pieces of sea glass. Very beach-y, I must say, but not terribly attractive.


Usually I like sea glass, but I prefer it in jewelry.

Our final stop, before heading home, was to drive due east from Brunswick and visit Holbrook's Snacks in the Cundy's Harbor area of Harpswell. We seem to find our way there at least once a summer. We enjoyed lobster rolls and fish and chips as we sat on the dock and watched the harbor activity.

We came home  feeling as if we'd spent the day in the sunshine and salt air, which is exactly what we had done.

Finally, see the baby birds in my header photo? Those are phoebes. Momma Phoebe builds a nest under our sundeck every June and adds to her family. I took this photo last Friday, went back to check on the babies the next morning, and found the nest empty. I caught that family photo just in the nick of time! I got a kick out of the four babies making sure each one got into the photo.
