Maine in summer is lovely. A trip to Reid State park with the kids , a beautiful sunset on a steamy hot day and fireworks after dark. Quite unusual to have weather this hot so that we don't even need jackets at the beach in the evening. I loved watching the seagulls at the lagoon.

Hope Rising

It's the weekend of the fourth of July. Bath bustles with visitors for the Heritage day activities. Lots of beautiful weather in sight, and a happy weekend surrounds us. On a gorgeous summer evening I'm sitting pensively on the steps of the library gazebo and looking at the church spire touched by golden sunlight like a warm candle on my birthday cake. I have made it past a big hurdle and I am smiling. God is near. Praises to Him.
