Waiting…
We last posted May 23 and we were hoping to begin the foundation excavation soon. Well, nothing has happened in the past month! We are enjoying camping in our “House Building” campsite near the head of our driveway where we will be out of the way when construction begins.
GETTING THE LAND READY FOR WINTER
Day 175 – It was a beautiful day. Rob took all day to pack things up because he was limping around. Vicki is moving slower as well and it took her a while to do what she needed to do to get ready to go tomorrow. We hope to be back on the land next year for a more extended period.
Happy Birthday, Nikki!
BACK IN THE USA
TRAVEL DAY
From: All Done RV Camping, Newtown, NB, Canada.
To:Our Land, Maine, U.S.A.
Day 174 – We’re leaving Canada today after a wonderful 4 ½ months. We’ll be going through customs at Calais, ME and will be back in the Eastern Timezone. There’s a lot more of Canada that we haven’t seen yet. We’ll be back to see the rest!
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.
