Portland is exploding. Development everywhere. This sculpture in Lincoln Park captures it nicely. Note the construction in the background, those are the "Two Towers" going up, detailed below. Also, Lincoln Park itself was torn up shortly after this photo and renovated.
The Packers have gone on quite a winning run since their midseason slump. We've made the most of it. To combat the winter blues, we concocted a tropical menu for the last game, home made tortillas and tortilla chips and margaritas.
Our dry summer produced some of the most amazing New England foliage we've seen in years. We took a mid-fall stroll through Evergreen Cemetery right by our house to enjoy the peak colors.
It started like these things always start. We found a hornet in the bathroom. Soon we were taking apart the closet and sealing all the seams. Next we ended up removing all the wall hardware and sanding and patching and then painting all the walls. Next we replaced the sink and vanity and all the plumbing. Next we removed the old doors and sanded and refinished them. So it goes.
