The Common Ground Country Fair
We enjoyed a beautiful day last weekend at the Common Ground Fair in Unity, something we look forward to every year.
Hurricanes are the latest discovery of radio stations and they are being taken up in a big way. To me, Nature is continuously absorbing— that is, she is a twenty-four-hour proposition, fifty-two weeks of the year— but to radio people, Nature is an oddity tinged with malevolence and worthy of note only in her more violent moments. The radio either lets Nature alone or gives her the full treatment, as it did at the approach of the hurricane called Edna. The idea, of course, is that the radio shall perform a public service by warning people of a storm that might prove fatal; and this the radio certainly does. But another effect of the radio is to work people up to an incredible state of alarm many hours in advance of the blow, while they are still fanned by the mildest zephyrs. One of the victims of Hurricane Edna was a civil-defense worker whose heart failed him long before the wind threatened him in the least.

Summer
Here in Maine, it's been a summer of drives up to the midcoast, rides on sailboats, bike rides around islands, out of town visitors, and glass after glass of iced coffee. We're not ready for it to end.
Merryspring
Merryspring Nature Center in Camden is a new discovery for us. What a lovely place to walk and admire perennials, roses, herbs, and groves of delicate birch trees!
