our maine home – zone 5b
after morning’s heavy rain
took Ellie out to camp
had ice cream and made her a cheese sandwich
she didn’t like my grape juice – way too tart
visited Sandra and Deb and Charlie for a short time
took her back to Golden Acres
she knows something’s up
she didn’t want to stay
went to Hancock Transfer Station
he took my trash although I didn’t have the card
or anything with my address on it
met Lili from Frenchman’s Bay Tea Company in Sorrento
harvested tomatoes and grapes
hiked Tunk Mountain with Deb, all the way to the summit
saw a bear on Blackswoods Road driving home
bought a waffle runner at L.L.Bean’s
checked out furniture stores
Taunton River, Merrill’s, Park’s
didn’t buy anything
living with minimal furniture

stools – none
mattress – Ray’s
figuring out waste stream

talked to Blair and Sam at Tidal Falls
stargazing, I can see the Milky Way
Tried to take the Taiwan call at Deb’s
but Skype wouldn’t open on my computer
connectivity is a challenge
Tidal Falls has 5 bars
maybe I can make phone calls there
and open a hotspot
no heat in the winter though
Wild turkeys AND a buck in the yard
Trash night in Hancock? Bags are out with stickers
Large flock of wild turkeys in the yard this morning

Walked 3.6 miles down Jellison’s Cove Road
and Salt Pond Road
and back – no cut through to East Side

more rubbermaid bins and dishpans
and office furniture from Gabe

Orion big as life
in the south west sky
found an arts center
right next door to Anchorspace
feel like I’m on retreat
everything’s so quiet at home
