You know you're in Maine when...

So I was in Maine for just few weeks, living at the parent's house, and there was quite a few instances where something would happen and I'd think to myself, "Only in Maine..." Hopefully you'll be able to get a feel for why I love Maine by reading this. 

I know I'm in Maine when

none of the houses have air conditioning.

the birds are your alarm clock... at 4 am.

running is enjoyable because of the views.

I only leave my house to go grocery shopping with my mom.

all meals have at least one component picked straight from the garden (peas, blueberries, cucumbers, raspberries, etc).

ice cream is eaten at least twice a day.

lobster is cheaper than chicken ($3.25/lb!)

it's exciting to see a cruise ship from the front window.

the hill on Scott Dyer is the biggest one around.

going to the lake is more exciting than the beach.
