Summer in Maine

Well, we’ve been in Maine a whole week. They say it takes a week of vacation before you start to relax. I’ve been working remotely most of the week, so I’m not sure this past week even counts, but I am just starting to feel relaxed. The weather here is absolutely gorgeous - mid 70s, low humidity, mostly sunny…

At the bottom of my browser it still says the weather forecast for Maryland. On Wednesday, I saw 103 degrees and was ever so grateful for Maine! Here’s a picture of the view out our bedroom door. I keep the door open when I’m working, and the desk is angled so this is really what I see while I’m typing this! I am so blessed to have a job that allows me to work from home, wherever home is on a particular day!
That yellow and blue “blob” out in the water is fun. Someone sits or stands on the end, until another person jumps and bumps the first person out into the water. It’s even fun for me to sit and watch the kids being propelled off the blob. It takes some big and heavy to really make you go far…

The other day I overheard the following conversation between two cousins:

Anna (age 5): Caeli, chapel is boring. But if you color dots all over yourself, your mom will think you have chicken pox and won’t make you go. Try it. It works.
