the case of the disappearing hastas

our gardens have really been neglected this year

we pretty much haven't done anything

except throw some mulch on them

they're bare

and sad

but we have a lot of hastas

and they require no maintenance

and just keep coming back for more

so imagine our surprise when several of our hastas

started to disappear

our sad gardens got even more sad

but our biggest surprise was the culprit...

twin fawns!!!

one morning sean woke me up early

and i got to see them nursing!!!

it was the most beautiful thing!

oh, and we've had a bear visit us...

multiple times!

fun and fear

another fun thing to do in maine
when people come to visit

or with local friends
is to go whitewater rafting

i actually use the word "fun" loosely
i've been before

and we did have a blast

but i'm deathly afraid of falling out
so this trip i served as the unofficial photographer

but all their surfing sure looked fun
so perhaps i'll join them next time....
or not
