ME II: busy wisy work day

· Maine Event

Today it was in the low 80°s but muggy. It's late now and the wind has kicked up - it's kind of wonderful out. The trees are talking and the wind lifts your hair and skirt (if you are wearing one of course). It has the effect of making it feel cooler even though it is still muggy at 86% humidity. We are nearing the end of releasing our radically updated and revised SA app and hopefully tomorrow we can do a final release. We got our morning walk to the garden in and a later evening walk. Tomorrow we are expecting rain in the morning. The weather has started to shift and it's a little cooler on average than when we got here. This is a little piece of what I see and notice on our walks - if you were here I'd probably say 'look at that!'

This is the foot of my magnificent friend the red oak who is tearing up the sidewalk enveloping the stone gutter and moving it out into the street and ripping up the asphalt. Long live my friend the Red Oak!

I think it's going to be a brown day...

Indeed beautiful browns

rosehips aging into burnt orange and brown
Beach rosehips nice combo of burnt orange and brown - check out those thorns!
dusty rose flower
ta-da! dusty rose
ants on a cement wall
Many brown tiny ants. Most of the ants here are huge but these were medium-small, and not as tiny as our ants.
peach tree laden with peaches
Peach tree on our way to the garden leaning over the street. The storm knocked off a whole large pile of them that are now in their compost.
watch out for the attack cat
WATCH OUT!
