THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND~

I highly recommend taking the road less traveled...
 you just never know where it may lead or what you might encounter...
 unlike any pig farm I have ever seen...
 but certainly one having a sense of humor...
so...throw caution to the wind...take a back road...chances are you'll discover something new that just might put a smile on your face!

~GREETINGS FROM DOG TROT FARM~

Greetings from Maine...those hazy, hot, and humid days of summer have arrived and along with them... rain and fog...Humidity, how do women in the South deal with endless days of humidity? Me...my hair curls...my skin takes on a permanent shine and clothes sick to my body...Spanx...I need Spanx...
 July 1st...honestly... how can it be... where did June go? My grandmother was correct when she use to say "the older you become the faster time goes"... remember those long idyllic carefree days of summer? A thing of the past...
 Here in New England "we" rush around making  grand attempst at those chores which have been building up... creating a mighty fine "to do" list... 
but, there is progress... Mr. Dog Trot has  installed the new kitchen window... finally there is a date for the installation of new  living room carpet... and new/old pine flooring is being put down in our bedroom...progress... 
  I love native strawberries...do you? here in Maine the strawberry season is in full swing, those tender red berries, plump and juicy...homemade strawberry shortcake with fresh whipped cream is my nirvana... 
 this is Mr. Dog Trot's nirvana...
fresh sweet lobster meat...with just a touch of mayo...
"All I could see where I stood was three long mountains and a wood. I turned and looked the other way and saw three Islands in the bay." Edna St. Millay. I hope to catch up with each and everyone of you...I am looking forward to seeing what you all have been up to...Enjoy the day, Julie.
