Dirt Road Adventures: Hard To Believe It’s Labor Day Weekend

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures: Can You Believe It’s Labor Day Weekend? This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures.

Hey friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! We have been at the beach all week, and it has been so hot! It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end.

I’ve been working on my blog to prepare for our upcoming 8-day vacation to New England. We will leave next weekend, flying into Boston and traveling along US Route 1 to Bar Harbour. We have many stops along the way and are looking so forward to this trip. We planned this trip in 2020 and had to cancel due to Covid. It’s taken us this long to get it back on our schedule. Have you ever been? If so, share your favorite stops, restaurants, shops, etc. I don’t want to miss a thing.

Although I’ll be out of town, I have several new blog posts that I’ve been working on, which I’ll share over the next few weeks. So, check in daily to see what I’ve been working on.

We had a wonderful time celebrating Labor Day at our annual Hot Dog dinner hosted by our friend and beach neighbor. This year’s event was bittersweet because we were missing our original hostess. Our friend Joan was with us at our 4th of July celebration, but shortly after that, her condition worsened, and she passed away. Joan and her husband started the Hot Dog Dinner tradition many years ago, and we have many happy memories. Joan’s daughter Sandy and her husband have been keeping the tradition alive during her declining health, and we are blessed to have such wonderful friends here at the beach.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

There are so many wonderful blog posts each week, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOLI

• I’m taking lots of notes from Molly’s post about visiting Bristol, Maine. I can’t wait to see this area in person.
• I loved reading Stacy’s article – Back To School: Gardening Lessons I’ve Learned. It’s filled with so much wisdom and inspiration.
• Heidi created the cutest vignettes with miniature fall decorations on candle lids—such a cute craft idea.
• Be sure to check out Mary’s 3 DIY Pinecone Wreath Ideas.
• Wait until you see Wendy’s Garden Bench made with old doors.

I’m looking forward to sharing more projects and decorating ideas with you over the next two weeks. Be sure to follow along on my Facebook and Instagram as I share highlights of our trip. Thank you so much for following along and subscribing to my email list.
