Blue Hill Morning

A field in Blue Hill, ME, shows some fall colors of the finest kind.

All around the mid-coast  we're seeing signs advertising cheap lobster and reminding us that it's time to help the fishermen, who are struggling.  Demand for lobster has dropped severely due to the economy.  Lobster prices have plummeted in recent weeks, while fuel and bait costs remain high.  Some lobster processors have stopped buying lobster and much of the fleet has pulled their traps and stopped fishing. 

We're doing our part with a full New England Clam Bake tonight: Steamers, Lobster, Baked Potatoes, Baked Beans, Blueberry Pie. Hey, it's the least we can do.

Oh my goodness, that meal sounds so deliciously Maine....and just plain delicious!

It turned out all right, I must say.
