ME II: meeting rich day...

Today was an incredibly nice sunny but crisp day. Low of 54° and high of 73° – who could complain. It felt especially nice after the dry cold when the nights were in the 30s. Although that was nice too. Anyway, we started early with work and finished late so there isn't much to report. There wasn't much to eat so we went out to Mami. We had the Okonomiyaki, Yaki Imo, Nikuman, and an eggplant dish that was new. Then we wrapped up the evening with a nice long evening walk around the West End.

The city is packed with the long weekend and it is time for PEAK leaf-peeping further inland Maine. In other news, the Right Whale conversation went poorly and it is pitting Maine Lobster people against Monterey Bay Aquarium. Sigh.

In better news, the still very hot housing market here is cooling a bit. It's the interest rates and I suppose that is true everywhere.

My friend the Red Oak with just the fewest of leaves starting to turn.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Eeakkk!
Bridge up! This is taken from the corner right by our house.
Cats of Portland. Miaou!
Red leaves at night...
The Moon and Jupiter and a show of clouds and jet trails.

Have a wonderful evening!

Sending love, Tawnia
