66 degrees w/ 8 mph winds
Day 103
Gooood Morning!
Woke to fog again, been this way for the last 4
days….was told we have a cold front coming…not sure what that means up here in
Maine, but when I do find out, I will let ya’ll know. Around 10:00 we were able to see the ocean
and by 10:30 we could see all the way out, even though it was still alittle
hazy. Saw one small sailboat headed this
way.
Larry’s feeling better and hope he continues,
thank goodness Cyndy is here to help, I could do it myself, and he would help,
but this way he gets to recoup and get better sooner. She hung the flag for us today!
Breakfast this morning was kind of hodgepodge of
sorts….Larry didn’t want anything but coffee, I had the last bite of pimento
cheese and made a sandwich and Cyndy grabbed a piece of the blueberry pie she
brought yesterday, didn’t even warm it!
This weather is giving us the “lazy” day
attitude. Its dark, its wet, its
gloomyish, I’m thinking it’s a good day for afternoon nap…..and it’s not even
11 yet. Cyndy suggested that we could
bake….that’s a good idea…after the nap!
Ethan’s bunch should be here about 11:30, so
going to make sure the museum is READY!
Plans today are to work on the Kiosk…putting
info on the other side and putting that same info in the restroom. Then we are going to cut the wood for the
corner of the well house, won’t be able to paint until it dries up a little
more.
Ethan’s group didn’t show, so I’m guessing
people are back at work since a lot of kids started back to school today….I
only know this because my grandbabies started back today.
So we went swimming, suits were optional, that’s
all I will say about that! Afterwards I
saw my first baby seal swimming in the cove, he was so close to shore, but I
guess we scared him.
Lunch…Chicken Noodle Soup and crackers.
Cyndy and I picked up the shingles from under
the tram….hung info in the restroom and the kiosk. I also worked on the area around the kiosk…a
lobster cage and some lobster buoys were just chunked up there….I kinda made it
pretty. We burnt all the wood in the burn bucket from
the Whistle House and paper down on the sand in the cove. While we were
watching the fire, a sailboat came into the cove so Cyndy came up with the
couple to give them tours. I stayed to watch
the fire…and find sea glass. Cyndy came
back a while later and the couple were going to take a few trails before they
came back and spent the night in the cove.
We finished burning and stayed till the tide came up and we were sure
all the ashes were gone. While she was gone,
the fog started coming in, having seen the movie “The Fog”, this moment in time
could have been a little scary. The fog
lifted as quickly as it came.
Bandit found him a sea gull who he felt needed
to be chased! Bandit gets so excited
when he knows we are headed to the cove… he romps and runs on the sand…he’s
gotten good at knowing the waves. I hate
leaving him on Wednesdays, he loves to go with us to town.
Its 5:00 and its getting dark and I’m tired…Cyndy
can wear you out. Showers and time to
plan dinner….thinking about fixin breakfast for dinner!

We never got to cutting the wood for the pump
house….will leave it on the list!
Cyndy’s going to go blackberry hunting in the
morning after she gets me off the island.
Time to make our list and start getting things
ready to go to shore tomorrow morning.
Cyndy fixed dinner….Breakfast Burritos and
Blueberry Pie!
Card game and then time for bed…Ethan arrives
EARLY in the morning!
