Day 39 – Windy & cloudy, 53 degrees yet again, 6:45 a.m. Not much happening at the Harbor this morning. The sun came out briefly today but it stayed fairly windy. It started raining in the afternoon and continued raining steadily into the evening. It’s certainly October now and the weather changes as winter approaches.

Day 38 – 7 a.m. this morning it was 53 degrees, cloudy and windy. Rob didn’t stay outside for long. It remained windy all day, but the sun did come out some this afternoon. The temperature never got above 56 degrees. We went into town briefly to run a few short errands. Empty, only two cars parked on the main street. Back at the RV, Gracie was posing on the dashboard, happily relaxing. And that’s about it for today.

Day 37 – We are becoming convinced that the mouse has left the building. The girls, except for an occasional sniff at the grate opening when passing by, are no longer interested. If the mouse was still there, they would be continuing tag-team behavior.

Day 36 – No sign of that mouse yet; the girl’s vigil has been more relaxed. Maybe it found its way out of the RV, hopefully. 7:15 a.m. this morning, 37 degrees & sunny. Rob had a cold but productive birding coffee time at the cliff.

GOOD DAY SUNSHINE.
Day 35 – We woke up to full sun, YAAA! 44 degrees though, but Rob spent a lot of time on the cliff with his coffee; he said there was lots going on at low tide – a great blue heron fishing, sandpiper-like birds tromping around in the mud, and two sea gulls eating a crab. We’ll see if it’s warm enough for kayaking when the tide comes back in.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT IF YOU ARE A CAT.
Day 34 – What a difference a day makes, again. Dense fog this morning, lasted all day, not a bit of sun. 57 degrees all day. Yawn. We caught up with some more paperwork, took care of some more business, read our books, and again, nothing much happening. As always, the lobster boats go out & come back later with the day’s haul. Tomorrow is another day though; maybe if the weather is nice, we’ll kayak out in the Harbor.

Day 30 – Today was almost identical to yesterday: very foggy, cool, and we both worked outside, etc. This afternoon it rained a little. Supposedly it will rain harder tonight and continue raining for a couple of days. Since there’s so little happening, we think we’ll do some multi-day posts beginning with this one.

Day 31 – It rained hard last night and on & off today. It didn’t get over 59 degrees and between the fog & rain, very little visibility. We just stayed inside, caught up on some paperwork – bills, budget, etc., and read our books. Sometimes you need a rainy day to catch up on stuff you’ve put off doing.

Day 32 – It rained fairly hard most of the day and was pretty windy. 59 degrees this morning, the high was 72 in Machias where we spent several hours today doing chores. Laundry is always a dreaded task, especially going to a laundromat, but with the weather being so lousy, it was a good day for it. We got some propane for the RV. And also, we went to Machias Marketplace for some local organic produce & to the health store for items that weren’t at the Marketplace.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN O. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR DAY!
Day 29 – Very foggy today. We both worked outside. Rob was digging a hole in the area we want to build a cottage to see how many feet it took before reaching cliff ledge. If he had hit cliff ledge sooner than four feet, we might have had to blast to put in a foundation for the cottage – something we don’t want to have to do. He dug four feet and hadn’t reached rock; that’s a good thing. I was chipping/shredding cut-down trees & branches for use on the trails in the form of wood chips to cover & protect the paths.

Day 28 – 7:20 a.m., 54 degrees, foggy. We aren’t usually here for most of September, so this weather pattern is new to us. It didn’t get over 55 degrees today and just kept getting more foggy – to the point where we couldn’t even see the water below the cliff. The weather has varied from day to day. At times it’s seemed more like October (which we are familiar with).
