Maine Day 3-Fog and Lasagna Again


The fog rolled in today, so the islands off of the Maine coast disappeared into the mist.  We didn't let that stop us from having a great day.  We had a lazy morning, but finally got up and going and went out for lunch to the Bagaduce Lunch.  It is a roadside grill on the Bagaduce River.  We split a very greasy order of fried shrimp, french fries, and onion rings.  So much for lowering my cholesterol.  We then went into Blue Hill and went to some galleries (see below).

Afterward, we came back to the house and relaxed.  I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and then heated up the lasagna I made Saturday night for a third night in a row.  We are loving eating out on the back deck, drinking our wine, and enjoying the view.  Even tonight, though there is no sunset visible, it is cool and comfortable--so much better than the oppressive heat in DC.  Yes!  It is August and we are wearing sweatshirts.  How cool is that?


Maine Day 3--Galleries In Blue Hill

"Black Dog" by Michele Connolly at the Leighton Gallery
Today, we drove into Blue Hill and did some shopping at the galleries in town.  Though we have purchased art in previous years, we had no intention of actually buying anything this time.  Of course, we never do.  But today, we didn't.  Here is some of what we saw though.

A painting by William Irvine, also at the Leighton
"Purple Iris" by Don Bishop at the Blue Hill Bay Gallery.
I admired this one for several years, but they were
packing it up while we were there, as it had just sold. 
"Churning Cove" by Mark Haltof at the Blue Hill Bay Gallery
"Thayendanagea"  is a bronze sculpture by Joseph Brant
at the Jud Hartmann Gallery
