CONGRATULATIONS, BENNY & KELSEY!

Day 109 – It was 50 degrees this morning. Summer really is over. No complaints here! Rob went out to the cliff, nothing happening there, but the mushroom was gone. A squirrel got it? We are paying our respects. Ho ho.

BUGS.

Day 108 – It was fairly cold last night, down to the upper 40’s. This morning was clear & sunny. Rob went to the cliff and had his coffee while watching three Cormorants in the Harbor.

AFTER THE STORM.

Day 107 – It was a pretty day today, pleasant with a high of 65 degrees and a little windy, but the clouds were big and billowy. We drove to Pembroke this morning to get our last two containers of crab for the season. We’re going to try to fill the rest of our freezer with the wonderful Cobscook Bay Scallops that are caught here. We need a lot of them for the coming year until we can get back up here again. On the drive this morning we saw plenty of rushing water in the streams and big puddles by the roads, trees down, and one of them was lying on downed utility wires. To us, the damage from a full-on hurricane is unimaginable.

REMNANTS OF HURRICANE IDA.

Day 106 – It started raining last night a couple of hours before it was predicted. It was pouring then, and it’s pouring now (10 a.m.). The wind is picking up. We certainly wouldn’t have wanted to be on the Gulf Coast when Hurricane Ida hit! Here we are on the “down east” Maine coast & this storm isn’t pretty; that’s a LONG way from coastal Louisiana. Flooding in Maryland, New Jersey, and New York is what we saw on the news. And we even have a flash flood watch here. Luckily, if there’s a storm surge today, we are safe up on the cliff. An impressive storm!

A BIKE RIDE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Day 105 – It was a warm and sunny day with a high of 75 degrees and a nice breeze. Tonight a storm arrives; supposedly it’s from Hurricane Ida. Of course, it won’t be the least bit close to its earlier strength here. We feel bad for the people in Louisiana, again they get hit with a Hurricane!

THE END OF AUGUST.

Day 104 – Well, look at this; a new month has almost begun. We can’t believe it! It was beautiful out this morning, mid-way between high tide and low tide. But it was quiet out (it’s usually more active at low tide). Rob didn’t get any pictures, but did stop by to note the progress of the mushroom.

HAPPY VACATION, CAROL & TED! FINALLY, EH?

Day 103 – It rained last night and was rainy & foggy this morning. Rob did not go to the Cliff Site. Cloudy & breezy throughout the day, the high was 68 degrees. In the afternoon Rob went outside to do some more work on cleaning up the dead trees. Then he took a picture of a different kind of mushroom that has come up recently.

PLOP. PLOP.

Day 102 – Last night was interesting. Once it was fully dark outside we kept hearing this plop, plop, plopping sound out at the Harbor. We’d heard it before, but it was sporadic. We had thought maybe it was the pine cones falling into the Harbor from the trees? Or maybe it was a bird, fishing? Like a Kingfisher diving? This was more often.

SUMMER IS ENDING?

Day 101 – We actually had to turn the heat on this morning in the RV; it was in the low 50’s when we got up. Rob visited the cliff and got a few pictures: Cormorants, and of all things, a Seagull eating an apple? Who knew.

GOOD LUCK, MICHAEL S. HOPE ALL WENT WELL!

Day 100 – At the cliff this morning Rob took pictures of, guess what? More mushrooms. It was 66 degrees and sunny. When he came back to the RV, and after relaxing a little, he went outside and waxed a section of the RV, the next step after washing it which he did a couple of days ago. He’s found that waxing it in sections is a lot easier than doing it all at once.
