In spring a 'girl's' thoughts turn to travel!! |
April 2: Pesky Paisley checks for walkers! |
April 5: It's Old town's dam and... |
...spring flooding. |
The Fieldhouse at the university of Maine... |
....why is it that athletics are the best photo subjects? |
The hockey arena is interesting! |
Then back in Old Town, the paper mill sits behind the cemetery. |
We throw our old bread out to the birds.... |
...what a foxy bird this is!! |
She must be hungry! |
And this one... |
....is anxious to go for her walk. |
...where she gets checked for ticks.... |
....regularly...which she loves!! |
Spring wildflowers grow along the route... |
...these will become tiny, flavorful strawberries!! |
Pesky Paisley loves this spot....good view of the yard from here. |
And she loves her naps! |
And has the best seat in the house! |
Acting like a bear with nose in the air to catch a scent...through a window so not in focus! |
April 24, Pesky Paisley looking awake! |
And in one of her favorite places. |
These are blooming early. |
April 23: The Frances Perkins Society honors one of it's own. |
....and gubernatorial candidates attend. |
April 24: Time to catch lunch before picking Lorelei up. |
At the Little dog Cafe, these bottles are too colorful to miss! |
Ranger Rick is always a favorite! |
Along with TV!! |
Sometimes a girl just needs to take a break with... |
...her friends! |
Saturday playground time... |
...time to hang around! |
where we practice our balancing skills. |
and climb, climb, climb! |
Lunch outside tastes especially good even if it's just peanutbutter and jelly! |
It's a beautiful day with lots of sun and shadows |
But even the best of days sometimes end with splinters! |
Later it's time to visit the soda fountain(built in 1948 and little changed) in Damariscotta where... |
a gal and her granddad can... |
....lick a problem easily at... |
...one of America's vintage businesses. |
Then it's on to Reny's discount toys where... |
....a little begging never hurt anyone! |
It's just what she always wanted! (Better than nothing would be more like it!) |
April 25: Monday and time to kill before going home. |
We draw w/ colored pencils... |
....and watch movies from Papa's lap. |
It's SPRING |
A binkey and Teddy are comforting |
...then we're in Portland with Mom! |
Bingas walls are pretty! |
Going home we pass the B&M plant. |
And this skyline has always beckoned; not so great from a moving vehicle! |
April 27: We meet Rich & Frances in Kennebushport and here is the Wedding Cake House on the way. |
From the bridge through town it's |
a calm day with .... |
....lots of.... |
....reflections |
Kennebushport, Maine! |
Downtown is quaint in a 'Bushy kind of way. |
Ron |
At Allison's ... |
....everyone greets Pesky Paisley |
....who is happy to have company! |
April 30: Spring flowers continue to bloom..... |
...on the day we head to Belfast for Butch's committal Service. |
Ron and I wear matching turtlenecks! |
Storm conducts the service...with |
...other clergy. |
Karen places Butch's urn into the ground. |
....and Dick places his Mom's. |
Karen.... |
New stones are in place. |
Later at lunch... |
...we have time to sit and talk. |
While outside it appears a barge has run aground. |
The bay is particularly pretty with spring flowers. |
