ME III: Owl Time

· Maine Event

It's still hot and muggy. This morning we had 70° and 90% humidity. That quickly heats up during the day to the high 80s but the humidity only dissipates a little. This evening it felt better as night fell due to a sweet little breeze and at 9pm it is 75° with 83% humidity. Early we walked down to see if our mail was set up to flow here but no go maybe in a week or so. We did enjoy the early walk downtown. We have so-so air quality. I think it is largely from the heat wave. Work is super intense right now and I'm hoping it will slow down soon.

We ended up taking the night mostly off and went to Novare Res, yes let's start a revolution, of some kind. They have upped their game around food and now there are vegetables including a salad. Last year we had a wonderful time here with Karl and Rebecca and the closest thing to a vegetable was cornichon, olives, or sauerkraut. We missed the boat to Peak's so went on a long walk instead. It was hot to walk but not unbearable and the breeze was lovely. It's downright shocking how much earlier it is getting dark. Tomorrow is hot again and then we have 10 days of rain (YAY! I love the weather).

Yesterday, Mexico at a national level decriminalized abortion. It was slowly being legalized state by state and then this was announced.

I forgot on this walk that we passed this beautiful old building tucked in among all the others. I love the detail on the brick and the blackened fire escapes.
Check out the yellow outdoor furniture against the brick - that's nice - the only color against the whole row of buildings.
I wonder what kind of stable goods they sold.
Catholic Hall
Last year Rebecca had a Blueberry Sour which was really good so that is what I ordered. It's the Kerplunk Blueberry Sour by Lake St. George and Matt had St. Bernardus a Trappist Triple. We also had dinner not just beer :)
Looking up town on Free Street
This is all one super long building. It seems like maybe housing above shops.

Good night sweet people and Happy Birthday to the many people in my orbit with birthdays in September.

Sending oodles of (tired) love,

Tawnia

And now the birds... including a Great Horned Owl!
