Trip to Maine Part One

Mary's brother, Jim, and I went on a seven day motor trip to Northern Maine to visit my brother David.

On the first day we stayed in Bucksport, near Bar Harbor where we spent a couple of hours.

On the way we stopped for lunch and I had a crab cake on the restaurant porch.

July 2nd Heavy Rain

When I went to bed last night the sky was clear

and the moon shown brightly!

This morning however, its foggy, drizzly, cloudy and 60 degrees.

The forecast for today is

90% chance of heavy rain

High temperature of 64 degrees

Enough already!

Foxgloves

Today was another cloudy and foggy day in New England

so I planted my magnificent new foxglove plant.

This is a needlepoint tapestry

I stitched a few years ago

The feathery tops of this Feather Reed Grass

turns to a golden tan in late summer.

Rain, rain, go away!

It is June 29th, another sunless day with light rain and 60s temperatures.

The beautiful new pool remains unused the entire month of June.

The garden, however, is thriving nicely.

Orange lilies

Yellow lilies

Bromze lilies

Astilbe

Roses

Hydrangea

3 new young koi in the pond

The weather

My garden is beautiful.
The pool looks so inviting.
Mother nature isn't cooperating.

Ooh look, the temperature is going all the way up to 72 on Wednesday! And no rain!
