Despite all the thrift/antique stores, miles of pristine coastline, and widow's walks that Maine has to offer, the stars of the show last weekend were the roadside lupins, which kept us ooooohin' and ahhhhhin' for hours. If you're going to be on up in Deer Isle, ME in a few weeks, check out the 9th Annual Lupine Festival from June 18-20th. You can stay with Dennis at the Deer Isle Hostel. More to come on that magical place in the next few days..
