ME III: Philippe

· Maine Event

Post-Tropical Cyclone Philippe has been an all-day rain storm. Gentle rain most of the time and occasionally big winds whipping the trees around. It brought a cold front but it felt like the perfect temperature and we went on several rainy walks. Today we worked on the languages section of the website. They are starting to look so beautiful! Recent beautification means we need to go back over them and update the HTML so the pretty works (sigh!). It was a lovely day to work with the soft rain sounds outside. In the afternoon I presented on the new app to the board meeting. We had a nice dinner and it made the house smell good. We've been pounding for many weeks so tomorrow we are taking off to go play on an island.

Here is a cool 92-page PDF that is an introduction to Maine's trees in full color! It is by the Maine Forest Service. So cool!

Don't look at the details just blur your eyes and look at those colors!
Community Garden!
Choppy ocean from the storm
Some trees have already lost all their leaves
and others are just getting started.
Happy Halloween month!
Black Locust trees have tons of small leaves that turn a bright yellow and come off early. The tree shape itself reminds me of the
Catalina Island Ironwood.
More trees getting brilliant
Many mushrooms in the Western Cemetery
Giant houses of the West End

Pray for peace and remember to say something nice to strangers.

Sending love,
