Summer Sights

This is the time of year when we Mainers get so caught up in the wonderful weather that we forget about the looming change of season.  In the words of George R.R. Martin, "Winter is coming."  But until then, we are swept away by the beauty around us.

Coincidentally (or not!) summer is also when we get most of our visitors.  This year we got to hang out with friend of the Ahlquist family Nick and his lovely partner Lilly.  What a fun couple they are!

 

A week later, I received a surprise phone call from one of my dearest friends, Polly, who was in Maine for a few days.  Polly, her sister and I met in Ellsworth for a lively night at the local Mexican joint.  Lots of love and laughter for sure!

Annabel and Thane have been on the west coast with Jordan's parents for the last few weeks.  They are wreaking havoc with their beloved cousins, and I'm fairly confident that Dad & Mom are more than ready to have their home (and sanity!) back.  We are so grateful that the kids are able to have such a special relationship with both sets of grandparents.

We're taking advantage of our quiet time to log in lots of miles on the trail by the River, where we continue to get a front row seat to Mother Nature in all of her glory.

 

Warm wishes!
