Ah! Finally! Some beautiful weather. I ended up getting a touch of sunburn, even! Here’s a look at our glorious boat ride back to the mainland.
Nebo had a couple of bikes we could use to check out the island. The sun was trying its hardest to come out, and by the time we were on our way back from our ride, the sky was nearly […]
We arrived at Nebo Lodge completely soaked through to our skin. I don’t remember a time when we’ve ever been as wet. Once we got in our room, we had to go directly to the bathroom to peel our clothes […]

Who would have thought that a bakery 12 miles off the coast of Maine would make amazing bagels? Perfect chewy crust, light fluffy inside. And great herbed cream cheese, too. And of course, more of those beautiful flowers adorned the […]
Weeks before we got to Maine, I had an email from Cousin Theresa: “Some friends of ours are buzzing about Nebo Lodge on North Haven. I’m not sure if that is still in your plans but thought you might want to check […]
We happened up on the Rockport Diner quite by accident. We left in time to have lunch before our ferry ride to North Haven Island, but then got an idea that we’d head up to the winery to buy some […]
Lots of beautiful things blooming at Sour Cherry Farm (and lots of weeds, too!). Here’s a look. Peonies, gorgeous as always: Coneflowers, making their way: The baby cherry tree is loaded! So is the Northstar. Catmint and […]
