Maine Fall Foliage Map

maine fall foliage map 2023

According to the state government, right now the Maine fall foliage map is all green. I would suggest that the folks from Augusta take a trip down to York County where I live, then reconsider their answer.

Enjoying Kennebunkport Prelude

Long before there was Small Business Saturday, business owners got together and created Kennebunkport Prelude. The idea was to start a Christmas festival. That was back in 1982. Fast forward to today, and Kennebunkport Prelude is also Kennebunk Prelude as this holiday festival spans both towns. … [Read more...] about Enjoying Kennebunkport Prelude

Waterfalls in Southern Maine

waterfall in kennebunk maine cat mousam river

Recently, I decided to look up the definition of waterfalls and was surprised to learn how many are in Maine. That's because a waterfall is defined as any "falling water" that cascades at least five feet down. Well, with so many mills in Maine on rivers — and falls besides them — there are likely … [Read more...] about Waterfalls in Southern Maine

Walking the Marginal Way in Ogunquit

I knew that walking the Marginal Way in Ogunquit was one of the best, free things to do in Southern Maine. However, it wasn't until I took this walk myself that I realized how amazing it actually is.

Ogunquit Trolley: The Map and Stops

Whenever my husband and I drive into Ogunquit to have dinner, we always see people waiting for the Ogunquit Trolley. While not at bona fide bus stops — with shelters and what not like you might see in major cities — there is always a bench or sign that says "Trolley Stop." That's where we see … [Read more...] about Ogunquit Trolley: The Map and Stops

I finally have an opening date for the new Costco in Maine. I'm even more excited than when I learned there will finally be a Costco in Maine. That is, in 2022, the Scarborough Planning Board finally approved a proposal to build Maine’s first Costco location in Scarborough Downs. I discovered … [Read more...] about Costco in Maine

Maine Covered Bridges

Parsonsfield Porter Maine covered bridge

Growing up, whenever I thought about covered bridges I thought about Maine. To me, those beautiful structures were synonymous with the state. Turns out I was half right. That is, covered bridges are super popular in New England — or at least they used to be. At one time, there were hundreds of … [Read more...] about Maine Covered Bridges

Maine Christmas Tree Farms

maine christmas tree farms featured image

Growing up, I never had to visit any of the Maine Christmas tree farms to get the tree we would put up in my grandparent's home. That's because they lived in a rural corner or northwest York County and we could just walk into their woods to get our own tree. And cut down our own tree we did for many … [Read more...] about Maine Christmas Tree Farms
