This October day is a 10


Here are some pics I took today of a walk in my neighborhood. This day has to be a ten plus! It's just a glorious day. It must be 70 degrees in the sun - amazing for October 25th. I had to take my jacket off because I was so warm.

The sky was clear and very blue, and the trees seem to glow.
A few houses are decked out for Halloween. I got a chuckle when I saw the bush decorated with eye balls. At first glance I thought they were Easter eggs.

Blast From the Past Diner - Waterboro, Maine

Blast From the Past Diner...

Here are photos of a super diner we discovered on our trip home from Maine this weekend. It was a worthy stop and the prices were great.

We had coffee, ice cream and carrot cake, and it was delicious. I'd go there again just to try more of the food. This place was retro and clean as a whistle. It was full of wonderful antique framed car adds and it had neat miniature lighted buildings....lots of glass blocks which reflected the red and white tiles and all the polished chrome. It was spacious for a diner, too.















I took pics of the reflections in the glass blocks. I loved this place!



This is a photo of the table tops in the booths. Just sooooo retro!


Of course, there had to be a gum ball machine shaped like a rocket to go with the sign and name of the diner! And, there was a large jute box, but unfortunately it was out of order right now.


Oh, and some of the cars in the parking lot were awesome, too.




Below are posts and pictures of our trip to Parsonsfield, Maine

In Parsonsfield, Maine just up the road from the church was this magnificent home. We were fascinated by it because it seemed out of place way out there.

Kevin read about a ghost town in Maine. On Saturday we decided to take a drive up there to check it out. This was the first beautiful weather day we've had in ages. The place had a lovely peacefulness about it, and I had a blast taking pictures. I would have loved to have seen the inside of the church.
