Maine Fever

Today was very gray to start off and then got sunny and nice in the East Bay but was foggy and windy when I came back here. The allure of Maine is very strong right now. We haven't packed or really given it much thought but it is very present.

July 4th we will be in Maine but here the firework display will be off the Golden Gate bridge to celebrate 250th anniversary of the United States. It has only had firework display off the bridge two other times to celebrate the bridges 50th and 75th anniversary in May 1987 and May 2012. So this is your chance.

5:47 am – 8:34 pm, which is 14 hours and 47 minutes of daylight

The bird of the day is the Cackling Goose

Here is a poem for you.

Sending oodles of love,

Tawnia
