If I were still living in Southern Maine I believe I’d be hanging out at the local Lowe’s purchasing materials to build an ark. Seriously.
I spent last week in glorious Southern Maine in order to attend a family function. I had anticipated the most wonderful time of the year for a visit to Vacationland. Normally, this would be the prime time to hang on the rocky beaches or enjoy the sunshine at the lake. What I didn’t anticipate was a washout. It rained practically every day. In fact, I can only recall one bright, sunny, summer-like day during my entire 7 day stay.
Listening to the locals, apparently the sun is a stranger in good old Maine, making it hard to swallow their new motto “The Way Life Should Be”. I’m pretty sure life isn’t supposed to be about flash flood warnings.
To all of my Maine friends and family who are considering turning their homes into houseboats, come on down. My plane landed to sunshine and summer heat, perfect for hitting the pool, heading out on a boat, laying on a beach or any number of other summer activities. Heck, if you wait long enough maybe your houseboat will just float you down here!
