Where Has The Summer Gone?


September 2023


What summer? This has to be about the rainiest, foggiest and cloudiest summer ever!

And now that summer is almost over, I have realized I haven’t even posted things we did back in the spring before we got back to Maine. So, here goes:


Waterfalls are always worth the hike! Visited a few more caverns- for two people that need sunshine, not sure why we feel compelled to go down in every cave we get near…

Stone Mountain in NC
Civil War Soldiers used this Cavern for shelter.


Once we got back to Maine and settled into the house, which still feels rather odd, we had solar panels put on our southerly facing garage roof. Monitoring them has become our new pastime-come on sunshine, we need the KWHs!

Another Visitor


We spent two week in PEI- lovely and quiet, great beaches, except one day when we went to a vintage pinball arcade and played to our hearts content- some of the pinball machines were mechanical, not electronic! What a BLAST! And a visit to the Bottle House, which is several buildings made out of old bottles- Crazy Cool! And lovely gardens surrounding it all.

Spent a week Downeast- mussels, scallops, lobster and our favorite CRABMEAT! Headed out to hike to burn off the great seafood.

Derek and his girlfriend, Anna visited this summer and played tourist. Here they are “humming” snails out of their periwinkle shells. Ocean swimming, walking the shore, lobster and pickleball were the “Maine” attractions.
