Vacation Land
Here’s a mix of yesterday and today. Yesterday morning we went to town to check things out. It’s not much of a town and after the third “buy crap from Maine store”, I’d had about enough. In the afternoon Abigail finally took a nap and Jen went for a paddle. At first she didn’t think […]
Itsy-Bitsy
We’re at that stage where we spend all day singing Itsy-Bitsty Spider and Pat-a-Cake. She can’t get enough of either. The rain washing the spider away and rolling the dough are her favorite parts. Because of the song, she’s become quite familiar with spiders and likes to point them out by yelling “Itsy-Bitsy! Itsy-Bitsy!” Today […]
Second Lobster Dinner
We took over 200 photos yesterday. It’s going to take a while (if ever) to get them up. – b
“Wind in the Wires”
What was left of Irene made her mark on mid-coast Maine last night. Overall I guess it wasn’t bad, but for a land lover like myself, a little disconcerting at times. The high tide was supposed to hit ten and a half feet last night around 11:15. From the time the sun went down, the […]
Wind and Waves
Now we’re getting it. Well. We’re getting something. The tide’s coming in and the wind is blowing steadily. The waves are crashing against the foundation. It’s kind of freaky. I’ve got tons of photos just from today. Not sure how much I’ll get up. Only time is when she’s sleeping and she’s not sleeping much. […]
Ahead of the Storm
We managed to stay mostly ahead of Irene on our trip north. A few bands of brief rain got us here and there, but it was sunny and clear when we crossed the Maine border. Abigail did pretty good for the nine hours it took us. Once here she ran around like a kid cooped […]
Batten Down the Hatches
House and yard are as hurricane prepared as they can be. We’re headed north for the week, leaving my Dad here to manage the animals and weather the storm. We’re half wishing we could stay and witness it ourselves. – b
Mil(click)
Got some Abigail videos. She has this funny way of saying milk. She gets the sounds right, but her k is actually made with a click. Check it out. It’s super cute. Yeah, yeah. She’s too old to drink from a bottle, but she’s faster and cleaner that way. Milk’s not something we want leaked […]
