Lazy Monday morning

Like the title says.........

It was an interesting trip up here

We intended to leave around 4AM Saturday but what with working so late and being tired (did I mention we didn't pack until Friday night) we slept until 7AM, fooled around packing and whatnot and finally left at 10:15. We knew it would take about 12 hours because we stop frequently to stretch canine and human legs and we did get here at about 10:30 PM. But! The rain the last three hours - looking back now it's comical but at the time between the heavy fog and sheets of rain, there was almost no visibility - truly, it was hideous.

But here are the notes of joy - as we arrived on the island, the rain stopped, so we were able to unload everything rain free and easily, and, when we woke Saturday morning, the sun was blazing into our windows, it was warm and beautiful! Ok, it started raining again shortly thereafter, but I'm taking both occurrences as signs of how wonderful the next two weeks will be.

...and with boats

M's fascination with rocks

It's like deja vu all over again

Back in our little cabin on Mount Desert Island - the time (and stress) between last October and now seems to have disappeared. I told M this morning that I think we are meant to be here some day. The Sound, the mountains, the weather...there's just something about it. And the scotties love love love it here. I think the climate suits them - hunting for small animals, standing against the breeze - if it wasn't so cute it would really be comical (note to self: look up latitude of Scotland - are we close?).

Here we go again!

I missed blogging - somehow lost the time to do it. But we're headed back to Acadia May 9, so I want to get back in the swing of things.

Why can't we all just get along?

As the reporter on this story says, there is a lesson here for all of us.
