Isn't this great??? It was in the garden of the log cabin we stayed in during our visit to Wells, Maine.....
This is the log cabin where we stayed..... It is two blocks from the ocean and beach. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the ocean. We went there three times in two days. The best time was at night, when the stars are so huge and bright....
Built in 1929.....
The siding is really cool.....The inside is warm and cozy, plenty of room, it sleeps lots of people.

We passed this cottage on the way to the beach, which was about 2 blocks from our cottage.
I liked it because when I was a kid, my brother taunted me with "Jean, Jean, the jelly bean". It brought back some good memories.
That sign was on the front of this cottage.....
We were right near the salt marsh, two blocks down and two blocks over. We walked over there. It was so pretty...
After we walked by the salt marsh we took a nice, wooded walk on the boardwalk to the estuary, which is part of the salt marsh.
Some of the beauty that we passed through on the way.....
The marsh grasses are beautiful...
The view from the platform at the end of the boardwalk.....
This house is famous and was on a TV show....I can't remember which one .....haha
Some other gorgeous home that we saw along the way.....
I can't imagine owning and living in a home like this one.....
These are Rugosa Roses, beach roses. The are prolific in the area and most homes have them as hedges along the fronts and sides of the homes. We saw a man trimming them with large gas hedge trimmers. They have the beautiful flowers and then they get big, beautiful red rose hips about the size of small crab apples.
An interesting tree, some type of pine...
Another beauty.....
We ate here twice... This place has an award from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives of Food Network fame. No wonder, the food is excellent and more than any one person could ever eat! I highly recommend it, if you are in the area!
The diner has a very friendly atmosphere and a nice gift shop next door.
This is a sunflower.........One of many varities that they grow in a garden behind the restaurant. They had many other vegetables out there that they use at the restaurant. Talk about fresh.....
They had lots of bluebird boxes in the garden, too.....
So, that's it for today. It has taken me over 3 1/2 hours to do this post. I don't know if it is Blogger or me, but it is rediculous to spend so much time on this.
