Friday Morning at the Myers
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 […]
Traveling To Maine
Thursday, September 3 We were out of the house shortly after 5 AM on Thursday morning for our annual Labor Day weekend trip to Maine. It was a cloudy morning, so we didn’t see a sunrise, but as we rounded this turn (about 6:45 AM) near the New Jersey line – there was the sun! We […]

The Day After The Rain
Friday, August 21 The morning was beautiful – the day after the rain. Raindrops were still hanging to the leaves. Somebody was busy during the night. By evening the sky “called” me to the outside. I couldn’t get enough of this sky. It won’t be many days before this corn will be in storage bins, so […]
Lots of Rain

Rain and a Loud Noise
Monday, August 17 It was an interesting, very local, quick rainfall. Neighbors less than a mile away didn’t receive more than a few drops while we had a nice afternoon rain – about a quarter inch.
