…is what it said on the beer, and who were we to argue? We shared the bottle, enjoyed it, and that seemed right.
Enjoying our time in mid coast Maine in the fall certainly felt right. Being awake at 6:30am to catch the sunrise over Penobscot Bay was alright – mostly because we could see it from where we were staying without having to head outside. Could have, but it was close to very chilly at that time of the morning. Doing what’s right, we opted to wander down to the beach a couple of hours later.
I’ve never seen a leafy beach in the fall. The beaches back on the west coast were evergreen and raincoast wonderful, but not leafy. The eastern side is different, a good contrast to what we’ve been used to.
Those leaves on the shore took a bit of getting used to! Regular stuff for coastal Maine folk no doubt, and our excitement might have seemed odd, but fortunately there was no one to see our strange behaviour. Just (just?!) a pair of bald eagles – lovely to spot them, the first we’ve seen since leaving the west coast!
We did what’s right all week and spent as much time as possible down on the shore. We had one slightly grey morning, and that was great for mixing up the mood and seeing the sea in a different light. Like most places, we know the east coast isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Life isn’t, but it’s generally pretty good if we do what’s right…
If you can stand it (or even if you can’t) there’ll be one or two more posts about our Maine trip, but let’s leave it here for this week, grateful for the big and the small things. Like not worrying about a bad hair day at the beach. Huh?! (See below)
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

As a west coaster, I share your enthusiasm and awe for leaves on the beach, pc. Really great bursts of autumnal color here. Looks like you’re doing all the right things and sounds like a blast. Lovely post.

You’re doing the right thing there along the eastern coast, Adam. Nice photos. If I could get a bottle of that Peeper Ale, I think I’d toast the American voter this Election Day and plead for common sense and justice (if they haven’t been considered yet) when it’s time to Do What’s Right… Well, we can dream, eh?

The last of our Maine beers disappeared over the weekend – they were a splendid assortment of reds and browns, perfect autumnal sipping…
Oh goodness, here’s hoping enough people remember what common sense and justice really means and find themselves able to Do What’s Right…
Thanks, Walt, and, on dreaming, let’s imagine we’ll be raising a celebratory glass of something good next week?!
