News you can’t use.

Useless:

of no use; not serving the purpose or any purpose; unavailing or futile

That describes my blog perfectly.

But he had much bigger teeth, that should count for something.

Clever is in the eye, or ear, nose and throat … of the beholder.

Hey…

If it’s good enough for Stormy Daniels.

.

.

Poo plumes?

.

.

6 feet away and six feet high?

Only if I eat at Taco Bell.

I saw one of these ridiculous vehicles at the grocery store the other day and it was just as silly in person as you would expect.

No fingers though, so maybe it was the no frills model.

Because Boothbay Harbor is always a good idea…

18 Comments

.

On a beautiful summer day, I like to head for the coast.

.

.

And my coast of choice is usually Boothbay Harbor.

.

.

Traditionally it was a fishing village….

.

.

Now it’s tourist heaven.

.

.

But it’s still beautiful and I still love it.

.

.

The footbridge had a facelift, so we strolled across.

.

.

Boothbay is one of those places you just need to stand still…

.

.

And say ahh….

.

.

.

It’s quintessentially Maine.

.

.

And even with wind blown hair…

.

.

It makes me smile.

Work continues… slowly.

When my husband first started tearing down the old porch he hoped to save some of the original frame.

.

.

Some of the original wood came off easily, some required gentle coercion.

.

.

I’m not quite sure what went on here…

.

.

When my husband is working a project, I find it safer not to ask.

.

.

New framing meets old.

.

.

In jigsaw like pieces apparently.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been very curious where all the noise is coming from, so I took him out for a stroll to check the progress.

.

.

Naturally he found the old dryer vent hole and had to investigate.

Rhodies

Our rhododendrons finally popped.

.

.

At least on the front side where my husband didn’t butcher them with the shears.

.

.

For a sheer burst of color they’re hard to beat.

.

.

And I’m not the only one who loves them.

.

.

Giant bumblebees swarm ever them all day long…

.

.

And it does my heart good to see their little legs covered in pollen.

.

.

Long live the bees!
