68 degrees w/ 4 mph winds
Day 109
This morning is exactly like yesterdays….calm,
hazy, quiet, and warm….for you Texans the sun feels closer and it’s already
getting hot even though the temp is 68!

| Looking out to the East from our doorway |
The Lobstermen are out doing their trade this
morning…Larry and I had some English muffins w/ plum jelly out on the porch and
as we looked out we began to wonder if those guys have a pattern of how they
run their traps. Guessing it depends on
the weather, the movement of the ocean, and other factors we hadn’t thought
of.
Our time here is drawing close to an end…it’s
only when I write my blogs that I truly realize that. It forces me to look at the date, day,
etc… So everyday I try to “take in” a
little more of life out here…going out in the middle of the night to view the
tower and its awesome light….to touch each building and look at it a little
more in depth… to sit at the cove and imagine all the lives that called this
home…and so much more.
Let's take a tour of the Museum...

| Turning to our right we see the old living room, now the "History Room"... 1795 |

 |
| USCG Room.... 1939-1985...used to be the dining room |
I’ve had a little difficulty with the internet
the last week…all my equipment says I’ve got internet, but it won’t let me do
anything, so some of my blogs have been a day late….seems to work better in the
mornings.

Sue Patton, a friend, showed up with her sister
who had never been here, as well as another gentleman who had been in the cove
all night, Sue gave them the tour of the tower since I thought the group from
the ferry from Popham would soon be coming up the hill. Ethan’s group never arrived, but we had
visitors one right after the other all day.

Lunch…ham and cheese sandwiches…sliced tomatoes
and chips…
 |
| Looking out the gift shop door...now that is a site! |
It's kind of like a picnic here…the food just taste better.
Around 5:40, we lost power and the fog horn
started…at first we thought the USCG might be working on the fog horn and had
maybe done something with our electricity, but when we went to check, no one was
there. Contacted Anne and she said the
power was out in Phippsburg…that’s a relief knowing it’s elsewhere and not just
out here. Around 6:35 lights came back
on and the fog horn stopped. Guessing
the horn has a backup…just in case!
 |
| We are officially on the wall at Seguin |
Looked out and saw a ?House being pulled by a
tug boat…not sure if it was an actual house or what, but it sure did look like
a house sitting on a barge. They were
headed West toward Portland and then turned SW further out to sea.

| Looks like a house to me |
6:45 Looking at all the electronic devices I
noticed it was 79 degrees w/ 1 mph winds right now. The weather has been “Baby Bear” great, not
too hot, not too cold…just right!
The sun seems to be setting a little earlier
every day. We used to see it set around
8:20, now it’s more like 7:30.
Haven’t had much problems with the creatures out
here….the flies bite…and they have been getting worse daily. The snakes are showing up more now than they
did all summer. I saw two side by side
today…naturally I never have my camera…or they are so quick to hide I don’t get
the shot. Thankfully Bandit hasn’t tried
to mess with them, they are just little garter snakes, but I still wouldn’t
want him to.

| Loving the cloud art |
Sat outside as long as we could, it’s so
peaceful and calm, the water below are gently coming in, only a few sea gulls
out and they aren’t making too much noise…but the sky, the clouds, they are a
piece of art…changing every few moments only to display another magnificent
display. Can you tell I’m not wanting to
leave this place.
