CLOSED FOR THE SEASON





Signs of the season, "closed for the season" and bright, clear, waterfront spots cleared out of tourists


After I realized it was around 38 degrees and before I walked my little buddy down to the lighthouse today, I made a pot of Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup so that when I walked back into the house it smelled very, very comforting and at only 21 calories a serving, I can eat all I want.

Sad news today that the voters in Maine decided to vote against marriage equality.  But, something tells me this is not the end of the subject and we will end up voting again and hopefully equality will be successful.

Locally interesting news is that our Port Clyde General Store will be curtailing their hours for the winter season and will not open the deli and the store will close from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m each day.  This means that during those hours, if we need gasoline, we will have to drive 15 miles up the peninsula in order to get it.  It also means we will have to cook more meals at home, something I love to do anyway.  But, there will be no big meals prepared here tonight as it is the last Marine Painting art class of the session. The class started out with about 16 people, dwindled to about 10 and last week there were 7 of us there.  The painting that we are supposed to accomplish seems to be out of reach for most of us, but it is a fun learning experience.  Below is the picture of what we should be painting.

 
 It will be very interesting to compare our art at the end of class tonight.
