Oysters!

Today was an abnormal normal workday. It felt funny for the first day of the week in the office to be Wednesday. It also feels funny that I have to go to work tomorrow. This year is super busy at work and at home. Our fish CSA portion today was oysters! So exciting to have a casual mid-week feast from the sea.

I'm saddened by ICE being in Maine. Even if they are only after people who have a criminal background. They operate by fear, and fear never gets good results. The Somali people I've met in Maine have been incredibly kind. Here is more about Somali immigrants in Maine.

7:21 am – 5:21 pm, which is 10 hours of daylight! 10 hours of DAYLIGHT! Yippeee.

Here is a poem for you.

Eat my oysters, and lie near her,
She'll be fruitful, never fear her. -- Jonathan Swift

Here is an article about strange and wonderful feathers on birds.

Sending oodles of love,
