I am sharing this photo of an ox pull with Breeze readers because Betsy and I produced this issue of the Breeze while on vacation in Maine.

In addition to the Cumberland County Fair, the two of us visited L.L. Bean in Freeport, the Freeport Town Landing, Reid State Park and Popham Beach State Park.

Our return plan calls for a fall foliage tour of the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
