yesterday, in honor of miss gliss's birthday (or maybe because it was a cool, breezy august day and m was off work), we drove up to damariscotta. first, m and boo walked to the end of a long dock (one of their favorite activities), while bean and i took in some local history:
my ship
it's a shame that the word "plucky" isn't much in use anymore, isn't it?
we ate a medicocre lunch, browsed at maine coast books, checked out weatherbird, which carries our shirts (well, we peeked through the windows, since it was closed), and went into some other shops. on the way home, we stopped in wiscasset at rock paper scissors and smitten, which reminds me a lot of nested in carrboro. david and ellen would love this place.
they have these incredible black violets in their window box -- big, and jet black. next year, i want to plan a black garden. or at least a pot of black flowers...

may we address you as ms. lizzie merry now? !
why yes! reminds me a bit of "the mary esther," no?
That sounds like such a good day! Wish we'd done something as ambitious for the 14th birthday of Miss Gliss. But we had a very nice time. The girls and I are now on our way to what may be a cool clothing store in Kennebunk that an Old Port store owner told us about. If it's good, I'll let you know!
