A Rainy Day at Acadia

The day was very rainy and cool, so after updating our blogs we took off to visit Beech Hill Farm, a project of the College of the Atlantic.  In Maine, the growing season is too short to grow tomatoes very well, but these wre growing and luscious in the hothouse!

Beautiful zucchini blossom and fruit.

Kale, lettuce, scallions for sale

Turnips and Onions

Beets, Leeks, carrots, onions

Potatoes and cabbage...

One of Craig's cool photos!
After the farm, we went to Bar Harbor and visited a yarn shop.  I found some really  lovely Malabrigo 100% merino worsted weight yarn, 

Wound it into a ball....

For the digital license plates...

Another one for my collection...

We decided to take a hike up to see Bubble Rock.  The walk was foggy, but also pretty!
This is Bubble ROck.  It is a glacial erratic.  It is HUGE!

Craig walked around the bottom of the erratic.  He  took this picture from down below...

A nice family took this for us...see the view of Frenchman's Bay?

Came up behind this one on the way home...it was such a good day!
