Day 137 – 29 degrees this morning, cloudy, no wind yet. There’s suppposedly a Nor’Easter headed our way, hitting home in NY with very heavy wind & rain, then eventually moving on to us here. Thank you, Carol & Willie, for the weather updates! Here on the coast we should get rain & wind, not snow. But most of northern interior Maine may see snow.
Because it wasn’t windy, Rob was able to sit out with his coffee at the Harbor View pad for longer this morning. He said he saw a Bald Eagle, a Kingfisher, and some Seagulls fly by. Towards noon, the wind was just beginning to pick up, and it had reached 37 degrees. Rob was adding some more layers of gravel/dirt to the pad. He’s now finished with this phase.

We drove into Lubec to the recycling center to dump that trash; the town was deserted for a Saturday. The wind increased throughout the day; rain started in the late afternoon. It increased slowly from the upper 30’s to the low 40’s. By evening it was quite windy. We hunkered down, put together a batch of Caribbean Black Beans & Rice, baked some Salmon in a Pumpkin sauce & had enough fixings for burrito’s for several days. We had delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies from Angie’s for dessert while worrying about the ever-increasing wind gusts. Around 8:30 we heard a loud crack, but couldn’t see anything in the the dark, then the power went out a little after 10 p.m.
