Yes, I’m talking about orgasms.
.
.
I can honestly say I’ve never experienced an orgasm at work, but then maybe I never had the right job.
.
.
Orgasms are lovely yes, but opening a portal in the universe? Damn.
.
.
Portals, manifestations, frequencies.
Yup, I’ve clearly been missing out.
🤣

You never know what summer in my state will bring. Last year it was hot and dry, this year we’ve had rain every other day. July was brutally hot and humid but most of August has been pleasant.
The other morning?
.
.
It was downright brisk, which I love… but by noon it was almost 85 degrees, which I don’t. They say if you don’t like the weather in Maine wait a minute. Or in this case 6 hours.
Have you ever had a Facebook memory make you cry? Mine did today when it reminded me we lost our beloved Huffington 11 years ago.

He was run over by a speeding car in front of our house and I swear I still haven’t gotten over it. I know you shouldn’t have favorite children or pets, but this little guy was special and is still very much missed.
.
.
Talk about overkill.
.
.
I like boats as much as the next girl, but this offends every New England frugal sensibility I have.
.
.
Random backyard woodchuck shots…
.
.
Because I can.

My creaky knee, my bunions and my menopausal joint pain ridden body isn’t as limber as it once was and though I’m still active enough not to embarrass myself… I often look upon His Lordship with envy.
.
.
If I slept with my spine twisted like that I might never get up again.
.
.
Cats.
.
.
They’re bendable creatures.
💕
.

But someone can, and that’s even more disturbing.

If this is what passes for television these days I’m glad I rarely watch it… but my first thought when reading the headline was the fact that I used to have a gynecologist who always asked me how things were “down there” when I stepped in her office. She misdiagnosed me for 2 years which resulted in me having to undergo a full abdominal hysterectomy. I should have known. If you’re unable to say the words uterus and vagina? You shouldn’t be treating them.
.
.
While colorful … I’m taking a hard pass here and doubt anyone will be upset if I don’t bring this to the next potluck.
.
.
With the price of real estate these days? This is a steal.
.
.
I’m not on Tik Tok and rarely pay attention to their ridiculous trends…. but are their women who are seriously contemplating douching with borax?
WTH?
.

Many of our favorite restaurants have been letting us down lately . Whether it’s lack of staff or a disregard for quality control I don’t know, but it’s nice to know one of our staples hasn’t dropped the ball.
.
.
The Royal River Grille in Yarmouth usually has it all… relaxed atmosphere, creative cocktails and good food.
.
.
First up? The Islander…
.
.
This beauty contained cantaloupe infused gin, basil, simple syrup, lime juice, and tonic. Perfectly crisp and refreshing.
.
.
My shrimp po boy was accompanied by a lovely sangria comprised of blueberry vodka, white wine, blueberry puree, lemonade and soda water that definitely hit the spot.
.
.
Husband opted for a cup of clam chowder followed by a large batch of garlic and white wine mussels.
.
.
When the restaurant is on the water, you have to salute it with seafood.
.
.
Husband rounded off lunch with a brown butter cheesecake topped with hazelnut praline and surrounded by bourbon roasted cherry caramel sauce.
.
.
And though I wasn’t going to, I couldn’t resist devouring a warm plum and almond tart with a citrus sugar dough crust, almond crumble topping, frangipane filling and vanilla ice cream.
The waddle to the car may not have been pretty, but it was satisfying.
😉

Living in the land of lobster, the tasty crustacean is often in our local news and rarely worth blogging about. But I saw this article the other day and was intrigued enough to share.
.
.
While I’m fortunate enough not to suffer eczema, I do have friends that are afflicted and will be passing this on to them as well.
.
.
.
.

Interesting, and if it works as claimed…. amazing.

I’ve been battling bees on my hummingbird feeders for a while now. Once they find a sugar source, they’re hard to get rid of… but I think I’ve found a solution.
.
.
Mint leaves.
.
.
Bees hate the smell and hummingbirds can’t smell at all so it’s the perfect deterrent.
.
.
If I can get the hummers used to the new leafy attachments.
.
.
They kept buzzing around, not sure what to make of it.
.
.
I didn’t think it would be a big deal. They drink nectar from flowers and flowers have leaves.
.
.
A few brave souls have made peace with it so I’m hoping the rest will soon.
The bees?
Gone!
👍
.
.
I saw this on FB the other day and had to share because it’s so….. me.
.
.
It’s probably not a good idea, the little devils are tunnelers and chewers, but you know if I did adopt one of our backyard crew…
.
.
I would totally give him a bath.
.
.
This is simply off the charts cute.
.
.
And now I totally want to do it!
.

As you know, we’ve had a wet summer in Maine. For a while there it was literally raining every other day. And though that’s kept our grass a lovely green it also makes for saturated ground that can’t absorb a random downpour … which is what happened the other day.
.
.
I know my blog name is River, but I really didn’t want to see one flowing past my kitchen landing.
.
.
It was a crazy amount of water.
.
.
And before long it was creeping right into the garage.
.
.
We’ve never had this happen before and I’m beginning to wonder if the new smooth driveway is funneling it through the path of least resistance.
.
.
Thankfully it was gone in an hour or two, but I’m glad I didn’t have to go out, that’s shoe ruining water right there.
🥴
.
Humor me.
And hopefully yourself as well.

This is going to be fun!
