GOOD-BYE U.S. – HELLO CANADA.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUZI BOTTS! WE HOPE IT’S A GOOD ONE.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Our Land, Downeast Maine.
To: Kiwanis Oceanfront Camping, St. Andrews, New Brunswick (NB), Canada.
Day 13 – It was 47 degrees this morning, partly cloudy & breezy. Rob’s time at his morning constitutional was uneventful. He was hoping to see bald eagles before we left for Canada, but there weren’t any. He did see a Bufflehead, though, one of our favorite ducks.
STORMY MONDAY.
Day 12 – It was a stormy night last night, but it was worse today. Not as bad as we’d expected, though, but enough to keep us indoors. We’d never stayed at the upper pad during a storm, and even though the winds were high, it felt less windy than it would’ve been at the lower pad, probably because the trees are denser at the upper pad – allowing us more protection. The temperature when we got up this morning was 47 degrees; it was raining and windy.

Day 11 – It began lightly raining right after we got up this morning and continued on & off until later when it became more steady; 41 degrees this morning and overcast. There’s a storm coming tonight with high wind & large wave advisories for the coastal regions. The high today was 48 degrees. Since it was raining, Rob didn’t go out to the pathway, but we certainly saw plenty of birds later. Weather permitting tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the end of the road and get pictures of the wave action.

Day 10 – Rob only had one sighting today at his morning constitutional – a Bald Eagle in a distant tree. If you’re only going to see one thing, a Bald Eagle is a good choice! It was warmer this morning at 40 degrees, sunny & clear.
IT’S FRIDAY ALREADY?
Day 9 – BRR! 35 degrees this morning & sunny when Rob bundled up and went out to his pathway. Luckily, he had his hot coffee. There were lots of birds out, particularly Red-Breasted Nuthatches. He also saw a Junco and heard Loons in the harbor.

Day 8 – We got up early this morning, 43 degrees & partly cloudy. The kitties had taken several toys out of their toy box and placed them by Rob’s recliner. Do you think this was a hint that they wanted him to play? Rob took his morning coffee time overlooking the harbor and took a picture at almost high tide.
WEDNESDAY WORK.
Day 7 – No morning constitutional today; we were busy early with other things. It was 42 degrees and cloudy this morning. We got a call first thing this morning from the local guy about the trees; he apologized & said he hadn’t checked his messages.

Day 6 – Another cloudy morning when we got up, 43 degrees. Today’s morning constitutional consisted of one sighting, an Osprey flying over the harbor. Slow day here at the water, but not at the RV.

Day 5 – It was overcast today and cool out. Without the sun on the dashboard, the cat’s heated pads were the favorite places to be today. At the morning constitutional, Rob saw an Osprey, Ravens, a Bufflehead, and Squirrels. It was 44 degrees when we got up; the high today did not reach 50 degrees and there were a few sprinkles.

Day 4 – We slept very well last night. As we mentioned before, it is very quiet here. All day, the girls were settled in on the dashboard. It was sunny and they loved it. This morning it was 43 degrees, sunny & breezy. Rob took his coffee down the path to his favorite morning constitutional place overlooking the harbor. He saw Juncos, Sea Gulls, and Squirrels. The usual suspects were not around yet.
