Pay Back

I must begin this post with an apology. None of my readers want to hear me complain about the weather when you guys have been sweltering in triple digit agony for a month. Nevertheless, yesterday was one of those rare days in Maine where its filthy outside. Not a whisper of a wind all day with 90% humidity which made it feel like 92 degrees. Yes, yes…I know. But, this cabin has no AC. For most of the afternoon it was hotter inside than it was outside. The next couple of days promise more of the same, with Sunday’s expected high temperature to reach 93. That is a very big deal for Maine. But, enough with the belly-aching. Nature has a way of offering unexpected grace. Last night around 8 o’clock this happened…

It seemed like Mother Nature felt bad and decided to pay us back. Pam had ventured out in the midst of it on her paddle board, leaving Lucy and me fishing on the dock. Even Lucy was enchanted…

At one point it looked as if the lake itself was on fire. Neither of these pictures does it justice but its the best I can do.

Today we drive down to Portland to have brunch with Patrick and Sarah who have been tooling around that famous foodie-town for the past couple of days. After that we will bring them here for four whole days! It will be their turn to experience Loon Landing. The weather doesn’t appear that it will be as nice as when Jon and Kaitlin were here, but the weather is at the very top of things I can do nothing about. Whether is perfect or not…its still at the lake!

Two more weeks here. Time is flying.
