Late Summer Camping

This summer was ridiculously busy, and at the same time, sort of uneventful. Out first camping trip got rained out, but we were lucky enough to squeeze one in before school started. The weather was absolutely perfect, sunny and warm, but not to warm, cool nights, and no rain! We didn't do a whole lot- a quick trip to Eastport, a short hike, walks in the campground, and dinner at Helen's in Machias was all we needed for a super trip to Cobscook Bay State Park. Now for the photos!

Oops, I wore sandals, no socks and shorts. Only 2 of the little buggers got me though!

It Is Officially Summer!

...And boy is it hot! Wednesday, the solstice, was about 95 degrees. It's been that way ever since. Right now though, we are having a wonderful thunderstorm, it has cooled things down about 20 degrees.

I see bread and butter pickles happening in the near future...

I spent a good amount of time ( I won't say how long!) laying on my lawn today watching them do their chicken things. It's great!!
