Ok, I've finally stopped laughing enough to agree with you. We're all really thrilled to be that humble here in The Pine Tree State.
The Small Skies of Maine does have a nice ring to it.
I do know how it is, Dave. No time worries whatsoever. If you had smaller skies out there you'd be less aware of meteorites, though.
Thanks, Nancy. Yes, it was a lovely encounter. That makes two real life encounters for me including Dean in Paris. (Also lovely). Lisa Iversen and Michael Harford have threatened to visit but the damn meteorite showers keep intervening. Nancy, got your letter...preparing a response but the damn meteorite showers....you know how it is....dreaming of orcas in New Mexico....dave
Looking for enchantment? Had it recently + fortunately, end of Oct, when David Stafford + Patti BOTT glided through Portland on their way to Rural HardWorking Maine (see Dave's facebook page for the nitty-gritty of that experience). Yes, it was an enchanting morning, as you can see from the myriad expressions on faces in these photos, taken by Patti with bad cellphone camera and another with a real camera.
Patti, Dave, me, and Phil at Hot Suppa! in Portland for breakfast:Fab company and breakfast, paid for by Dave, so I chose the expensive and real maple syrup. Here again are Dave and me and Phil's arm (he ordered me to leave out his getting-over-migraine face in this one):
After some roaming around the city, we inhaled fresh air on the Eastern Prom of Portland overlooking Casco Bay, in its glorious grayness. David and I were having daydreams of orcas, which gave us an eye-closing fright:
And so I especially enjoyed the riot of butterflies on the next envelope from Santa Fe:
In the 14 years since Phil came home with a web-TV, put us online, and sent me under the covers in despair, countless web connections have been made, but actually meeting one in person was a first here in Oct 2014, and it was the best. Dave IS enchanting, and so is Patti. We wish they'd move here but don't think they were won over. I mean, we have no adobe and lots of snow. And we're precariously perched on the edge of the continent. Still . . . come back anytime . . .
