"ayuh, jus' a dite"
-Maine saying posted on city-data.com
Tonight's post is for those of you that aren't lucky enough to have seen the Craig's List posting for my parents home that they are selling in Maine. The home is in Jonesport, ME, where the locals are gearing up for the annual World's Fastest Lobster Boat Race (4th of July). And when I say gearing up, I mean it literally: the lobster fishermen have special race day engines that they change in for the everyday engine.
The pole barn that my dad built behind the house. (Lupine in foreground)
The house. Dad added the kitchen (purple and pink door to left), the front porch and the widow's walk (upper story porch from which the pining widow watches for her never-to-return sea captain). Oh and did all the shingling and trim work.
Kitchen. Dad has always loved working with knotty pine because the color is light, it's not too expensive, and it has interesting grain patterns.
The view from the widow's walk.
