Strawberry Picking

We picked the last strawberries at Popp's Farm in Dresden. The field was overgrown with weeds, much loved by the bees. The picking was slow but we harvested enough berries for strawberry cream puffs, breakfast treats and some for freezing.

The cookout

The grill/smoker gets its first workout just before Independence Day.

The weather is perfect right now to enjoy the cool waters of the lake.

Maine Fiberarts workshop

A small group of dedicated knitters and crocheters met at the Maine Fiberarts Center in Topsham.

Christine taught the pattern as a knit design, and I taught the crochet version, also called Peacock lace.

We were all pleased with the results.

Summer is here

This is what the first day of summer 2010 looks like at Sunset Cabins:

The resident bullfrog

The bullfrog is here and he has a very strong voice. He has been hiding between rocks and last year's grass.

When I made too much noise with the saw he let me know that I intruded in his territory, but he was not intimidated and stayed in the same spot all afternoon.

Our new dock

Before making the final adjustments, our dock installers enjoy a small fishing break.
