My Favorite Yachts


Isn't it Romantic, my favorite song






My favorite yacht was Lawley .
In England. In 1851 he moved his
 family to Massachusetts.
 Family lore states that the
 steamship passed the yacht
 AMERICA on her famous
 Cup voyage and set the
 family on its road to
 subsequent Cup victories. 
After working for 
Donald McKay, George founded
 his own shipyard in Scituate, 
Massachusetts.
Shipbuilding--Massachusetts

Wheeee! "It's Autumn in Maine"

I just am so sad that the leaves and colors are going.
This time of year makes me feel so alive and great to
get outside. Thank you God for this treat.


Fall on the Cove.








I can't get enough
of this beautiful
color. GOD is Great!


Auger Falls

Arcadia Natl.Park
has so many Breathtaking spots.





Arcadia Natl. Park another Fall
I live in MidCoast Maine
Rockland /Camden area




Close to Tea Time and what a beautiful
spot  for an outdoor cafe.
            Theme in Yellow/

 Carl Sandburg 
I SPOT THE HILLS 
With yellow balls in autumn. 
I light the prairie cornfields 
Orange and tawny gold clusters 
And I am called pumpkins. 
On the last of October 
When dusk is fallen Children 
join hands And circle round me 
Singing ghost songs 
And love to the harvest moon; 
I am a jack-o'-lantern 
With terrible teeth  And the children 
know I am fooling.

Stream down the road.
I am going out for a drive
 down the coast. An turn
up the music in the car.
windows down so Mr Bennie 
can hang out his head.
My beautiful little man Mr. Bennie
