Now Playing - Ain't Got So Far To Go By David Byrne Life - When we moved to Maine, I had an image of Maine in my head. Compiled largely of sourceless assumption and a chapter in a Bill Bryson book, I'd pictured a rugged country with rocky shores and simple people, eking out a living by plucking skittery crustaceans from the sea while wearing a yellow slicker. Maybe relaxing in the evenings on

I haven't learned how to effectively indicate older or textural skin - there was lots of crepe, and body hair. Maybe not the most important details, but it'd be nice to be able to at least allude to that kind of thing...? Anybody have any suggestion for this kind of texture? In charcoal?
When we finished and headed out to our cars we saw that the seasonal Farmer's Market that they hold weekly in the parking lot had just begun that day!

Finally made it back to life drawing this week (it's the first time since the first of May!) I was terribly pleased to be able to sit through it - both physically (I needed a pillow by the last hour, but it wasn't bad) and stamina-wise.
Had this darling, little, round older guy - bald, bandanna-ed, and bearded - as our model.I haven't learned how to effectively indicate older or textural skin - there was lots of crepe, and body hair.

The mini-train ride was going strong!
And all sorts of people were there, including some folks from a wildlife rescue - with this 'special needs' possum (she, and her litter-mates were born cross-eyed), who is currently playing surrogate mother to this abandoned baby....
...who did nothing but hand on for dear life on the adult possum's back. So cute! I don't think I've ever seen a baby up close like this before.
We meandered further past the flower vendors, those with live plants, crafts, jewelry, live music, and Kettle Korn....
...and then we got to the food! The freshly made mini-donuts! (after which I got so distracted that no more picture-taking happened - so no showing you the amazing spring produce, or the Great Harvest Bread Company, etc...)

Ah, so glad it's Farmer's Market season again.

The Dark Lord commands thee: go read Maelstrom! It's teenagers... blogging about books... because books are awesome. It gives me some hope that the land of Teenageria shall one day come out of this dark age and embrace the wonderfulosity of reading!
For now, we few shall march bravely on.
Dark-Lord-obeying, on-marching, and yours,

Well, I am glad to hear that you are finding a few places that fit your stereotype. I love farmers markets, they are even cooler when they are on an actual farm.
