Anniversary weekend

We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary this weekend.  Saturday morning we left early and stopped at the farmer's market, had breakfast and picked up a few things for a picnic.

We drove along the St. John River and stopped to take a look at anything we found interesting.

This abandoned church was not far from a farmhouse that people were living in....they must mow the church lawn when they mow their lawn because it was obvious that no one has used this church for years.

Along the St. John river there are at least 4 of these cable ferries/barges that are free to use. The cars line up on either side of the river and the ferries constantly transport cars, people and motorcycles across the river.  The ferries are attached to a heavy steel cable that runs under the water and attaches securely to the land on either side of the river.  We went on 3 different ferries during our little anniversary roadtrip.

We stopped and had lunch at a little picnic area....this was the view across the road from the picnic table....this new house under construction will have such a beautiful view of the river...I wanted to move into it.

Love these cupcakes from the farmer's market....yum

Love our strange expressions....I don't know why but setting the self timer on the camera and then running into the picture always cracks me up.

I had to jump out of the car and take a picture of these cows...don't you love the puzzled expression on the guy in the the lower part of the picture?

Waiting in line to board our 3rd ferry of the day

Wild lupines by the river.

We had a great day driving around and since we stopped at a couple garden centers I bought a few more plants but I'll do a gardening post later in the week.
