Thursday brought rain to Maine, and it felt just like one imagines the New England coast to be. It was not a down pour, but a gentle rain and mist most of the day.
The rain only added to the feel of being in New England.
It did not dampen our spirits, we ventured on to Portland, and went down on the waterfront. Ate at Becky's Diner which is right on the water, a typical little city diner with all the locals, who enjoy coming there daily. While we were down by the waterfront we visited the Portland Lobster Pound and caught a picture of one man loading a boat with supplies for the ships going out to sea.
On our trip up the coast we stopped at a garden center and enjoyed all the fall displays and were tempted to fill our van with perennials at 50% off, but decided we might need the room for other treasures later.
One more picture of the lovely changing foliage, and this time it is adorning an old brick building, much like a lovely pendant, or lace collar. The leaves are still very colorful here on the coast, but with today's rain, they could begin to fall very soon..
Thank you for checking in and hope you are "enjoying the journey" with us in New England.
