Friday, September 4
I went outside early Friday morning to see what was growing and blooming at Mark and Diane’s house in mid-coast Maine. The sky was clear – with only one noticeable cloud.
This year Diane’s garden consists of buckets since buying a house and moving is in their 2015 plans.
What had been their garden in previous years is filled with interesting flowers and weeds.
The wooded area surrounding their previous garden is filled with a bamboo-type bush which is also flowering.
There are also flowers that Diane has planted and nurtured. Some will probably go with them when they move.
When I come inside, I noticed the sun glistening on several things in their kitchen and dining room.
Vinegar and olive oil bottles in the center of their kitchen table.
Cookbooks
Hannah has her own apartment, but came to the house to make breakfast and say hi to us.
Bratwurst from Bisson Farms where she works. Oh, yum.
After breakfast Cerwin and I went to Thomas Point Beach (two miles away) to enjoy the first day of the bluegrass festival.
Enjoyed your post once again, Doris Jean! 🙂 The bamboo type bush which is flowering appears to be Japanese knotweed, which we just learned this past week is invasive. Looks are deceiving! 🙂 http://michigan.gov/documents/dnr/knotweed_BCP_372280_7.pdf
That is interesting. I will pass that on to Mark and Diane. I am sure they won’t want to take any of it to their new place. 🙂
Diane and Mark are very aware that it is invasive. They have been trying to keep it out of their garden. 🙂
