Maine Event: Day 7

Today was our first day working from Maine. Matt graciously gave me the nook and he is working from the kitchen table. It was a heavy meeting day for both of us. However, we got up early to thick fog at the ground level which stayed until nighttime. It is deliciously cool but not cold and virtually no wind. On our early walk, we discovered several apple trees and discovered the Clark St. Community Garden. There are several programs like this to reduce food insecurity and hunger. It is down by a sweet park called the Harbor View Park which is tiny with a view of the water and the drawbridge we walked over. It also smells a little of the fishing industry. 
Just a nice brick house across from the park, there are nicer ones but this one has its plain-jane charm.

Portland style fog - this is mid-day...kinda dim day. They expect it to be hot again tomorrow.

A little unusual decor. It's a giant blow-up lobster guarding lobster cages with human skeletons inside (I think leftover from Halloween)

And for your reference, this is where we are:
