Mondays are for Makers….

Ken and I spent the bulk of our weekend on the coast where the weather was much better than up here in the mountains.  Isn't this an amazing picture?  The picture doesn't even do justice to how beautiful and how much depth of colors were in the clouds and water against the black rocks.

Saturday we took a drive over to York Maine thinking that there were some craftsmen festivals as part of Maine's Craftsmen Weekend, but there really wasn't much going on, so we headed over to Dover, NH on our way home where there was a much larger festival happening.  A lot of it was just advertising for the various businesses, such as banks etc, but there was some good food and some talented craftsmen.

Now I have long been a lover of rocks….I know, kind of strange.  When we go to the ocean it's not shells that I look for but rather rocks.  Ken just shakes his head when I come home with pocket filled with rocks.

However, I spent a lot of time talking with a woman who shares my love of rocks and different things I could do with them instead of having them sitting in bowls all over my house.

So Sunday we took another ride over to the coast and I came home with some beautiful rocks to treasure.  

Right??  SO pretty!!  As a side note, any rocks that I don't love after they have dried out go right back to the beach that they came from.  I haven't started making yet, but I have a lot of fun ideas brewing around in my head.

All in all, given that it was a pretty gloomy weekend weather wise we had a very enjoyable weekend and even last night's football game was pretty darn good.  No, we didn't win, but we didn't get spanked either, so it felt like a win!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend in your corner of the world!
