The Lobster Ladies of South Harpswell
I believe there are two kinds of farming. The first are the farmers who work the terra firma. Then there are the farmers who harvest from the sea. The Lobster Ladies of South Harpswell are the latter. They sell lobster directly from the boat to you. At $3.69 it's a relatively inexpensive source of protein and there's no middle man. Support your local farmers!

Nobleboro Historical Society Applefest
A fun and eye-catching succession of signs (along Route One) promoting Nobleboro Historical Society's Applefest. Slated for this Saturday, (Oct. 3rd) from 10 to 2, on the Society grounds and next door at the Nobleboro Central School, they've scheduled a silent auction, crafts, and music. Of course they'll have apple goodness of all shapes and sizes too!

It's not junk... it's inventory!

Keep Maine Scenic
We ran by this sign on the side of a tractor-trailor up in the Perry area along Route One this past August during our annual camping trip Downeast. A message that we can all take to heart, but the delivery had something to be desired. Left in what appeared to be a deserted, dirt business lot, it simply struck us as an oxymoron.

Sweden is west of China
This is one famous sign in Maine! Located at the junction of Route 35 and 5 in Lynchville, our trip to the western mountains just wouldn't be complete without a chance to add this one to the blog. Read an interesting and humorous news story about Maine place names from the New York Time here. Enjoy!
West Paris and the clothes pin industry
Of course, I couldn't resist taking this photo of a sign for Lewis H. Mann & Son that is, one... giant... clothes pin. Bet that won't roll of the porch when you're hangin' laundry!
