POTATOES & TENTS.
Day 22 – We slept well at the new site. It was very quiet, 48 degrees this morning and sunny. We took a walk around the campground; most people weren’t up yet. Middle of the week and the campground is maybe ¼ full, but the weekend is coming & many of the campsites are marked “Reserved”.

Day 21 – It was a hot, sweaty night. I kept getting up and turning the A/C up; more cold air, please. The rain started around 2 a.m. complete with thunderstorms & lightning over the Harbor. This morning at 7 a.m. it had just stopped raining. We left at 9:35 a.m. It was 75 degrees and VERY humid. Lots of bugs!
THE TAIL END OF A HEAT WAVE.
Day 20 – From what we can tell, a lot of the East has been in a heat wave. We’re glad we are here in the North, since we just got the tail end of it. Storms are supposedly bringing a front in to give relief to all. We reached 85 humid degrees today and didn’t move around much. We know plenty of people like hot weather, but we don’t. We sat in the screened tent and prayed for a hefty breeze. It was supposed to break with thunderstorms arriving around 3 p.m., but it’s now almost dark and NO storms yet. We just broke down after cat’s pitiful looks & turned on the A/C. Ah, relief!

Day 19 – Today was like yesterday with warm temperatures & lots of sun. Again we spent most of the day in the screened tent. This morning Rob saw a Great Blue Heron flying up the Harbor (but the picture he took didn’t turn out). We were visited today by Seagulls, Kingfishers, a Dark-Eyed Junco, and a Hummingbird. The Hummingbird was just outside the window, teasing the cats. For those that asked, we did not find buried treasure in the “pirate” ship, nor did we find cases of Rum.
THE BOAT.
Day 18 – It was a beautiful day here today with a high of 72 degrees and sunny. Rob went out with his camera & coffee and watched the Kingfishers dart about the Harbor. No bugs, which was nice!

Day 17 – It was 47 degrees this morning when we got up. Last night we checked the weather in NY at our house – it had been 94 degrees there during the day. What a difference! We had been planning to leave our land Monday, heading for a week near Presque Isle in northern Maine. But looking at the weather forecast there, it would be in the 90’s the first couple of days we were there, and we wouldn’t have hook-ups, therefore no air conditioning. We decided to stay here for those hot days, leaving here probably Wednesday instead.

Friday, Day 16 – You know how Seinfeld was supposed to be the Show about Nothing? Well, this is turning out to be the Blog about Nothing. It rained all night and was cool today with fog, one hour of sun, and some heavy wind. It briefly reached 62 degrees. Basically it was same old news here: the screened tent, peace & quiet, Kingfishers & Seagulls, sleeping kitties. And no pictures. We’ll see what tomorrow brings……
WHERE DID THE SUN GO?
Day 15 – After yesterday’s beautiful sunny day, we were surprised to find it cloudy & foggy this morning. It never got above 53 degrees today and was windy and cool. The bugs weren’t bad though, so there’s that…….

Day 14 – What a beautiful day it was…..sunny & breezy with a high of 73 degrees. We spent most of the afternoon in the screened tent. We briefly saw an Osprey fly over the Harbor, and we saw a Kingfisher diving for fish, but both were so quick we didn’t get pictures. The cats spent most of the day baking in the sun on the dashboard. They like it when all the windows are open & there’s a good breeze.

Day 13 – It is warmer today, getting up to a whopping 63 degrees & partly sunny. The dampness from all the rain brought out the bugs. Until now, we’d only seen a few biting black flies & their friends, the mosquitoes. We are thankful for that.
