Where's Wendy?

On Sunday I went to the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity, Maine. I had not been in years and it was a lot of fun seeing all the animals and checking out the local vendors. I couldn't wait to check out the food options and was excited to get a Pie Cone, which is pie in a cone. :)

I tried the strawberry rhubarb cheesecake pie cone...my friends and I now are pondering how to make them at home.

Always make the Pie Cones your first stop at the fair or else this will happen. 

I spent the evening at University of Maine at Orono with my friend Chad. We did some tailgating and watched some football. I got my picture with Bananas the black bear, UMaine's mascot.

I made a planter using a trick or treat pumpkin to display the mum I bought today for the front steps.

I did not realize my owl obsession has spread to my clothes. Pj pants were gift from a friend a while ago.

Happy iPhone 5 Day

We celebrated iPhone Day at work with apple filled donuts

lunch

I had leftover lasagna with squash and carrots. I am trying to make an effort to be more healthy since I haven't been eating that well that last few months since buying the house. I did a large amount of yard work since Sunday and I'm feeling very sore. I think its a sign that I do need to work out more to be stronger. The front yard though looks so much better after weeding and ripping up the lawn to even out the garden beds. At some point soon I'll plant bushes. 

Happy Birthday to my dad today :) I can't wait to see you in October. 

Today I made lasagna. I used Pioneer Woman's recipe. It was the first time I ever made it. My friends Jenny and Jessica came over to try it and I think I did well for my first try. 

Sharks are awesome. Pillow pet shark? Even awesome-er :)

I have a minor obsession with scarves. With the weather getting cooler I may be a little excited to be able to wear my scarves.

Bangor City Forest

My collection of sand. Three jars counts as a collection right? I love how all three are so different in color.

Framed from Mumford and Sons concert. Now where to hang it....

Breakfast

Eggs with tomato, basil and sausage with hot sauce

It was a good weekend. I got to see my cousin Mel's new house. Here she is with the M&M from her dad and yes that's her puppy Lexie in the M&M. We kept moving the M&M around on the front yard. 

Lexie (three family members now have labs, one yellow, chocolate and red velvet, at some point need to get a picture of all three together)

Grammy, Katy, Auntie Pearl and Mum (Ava is trying to get away)

Banchi and Ava. These two kept roughhousing all weekend. Whenever Ava is around Banchi she think's she's a little dog. 

Ava (she's a red velvet lab that belongs to my Aunt)

Todi, calm and collected. He didn't partake in the roughhousing. 

Where's Wendy?

I had been wanting to visit Popham Beach State Park for a long time and finally took the time to visit on Labor Day. A lot of other people had the same idea but the beach wasn't too crowded and the water wasn't freezing cold. I love this beach and the variety of areas you could enjoy that included shallow areas for kids to play and so many spots to sit. You have to pay to enter this park and one of the benefits is bathrooms and changing areas on site and outside showers to wash off sand.
