If one is a tourist, getting away from a busy existence, it will seem quiet&#8230; there are calm lakes, quaint towns, the ocean, and forests. For those of us who live here, it is the opposite&#8230; busy!<\/p>\n<p>But, even though it is busy, we still find time to enjoy our summer days&#8230; picking strawberries for jam; freezing blue berries, enjoying gardens, and watching the schooners out in Penobscot Bay are some of the things we can only enjoy during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog_Maine\/rockland%20harbor%20500%202.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">If you do come to Maine, and want to really get away,<br \/>\nconsider heading Down East to Lubec- it is far as one can go along the coast!<br \/>\nAnd it is the most eastern point in the USA!<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">Read about one trip I took a couple of years ago&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/maine\/places\/110-summer-trip\"><b><br \/>\nSee Sewing Notions, Maine Musings, Down East Summer Trip<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/Blog_Maine\/quaddy%20head%20500%20margined%205.jpg\" alt=\"\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">WEST QUODDY HEAD LIGHT<br \/>\nnear Lubec, Maine<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/logo\/dragonfly%20hor.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><b>BACK TO FABRIC!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The French fabric shipment came in while I was gone.<br \/>\nThe three African fabric patterns are listed.<br \/>\nStill to be listed are<br \/>\na horse fabric, in two colors,<br \/>\na Picasso-like fish fabric,<br \/>\nand, most unusual, a fabric with vintage photographs of dogs!<\/p>\n<p>So, watch the fabric blog for those.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"noindent\"><b>WEDNESDAY- July 10, 2013<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The weather has continued to be very rainy.
