Yard

Yard is put away for winter pretty much. I tilled up the garden one last time for next season. I put away my potted perennials along the fences and covered them with leaves. I pulled the petunias and other annuals out front and added them to the compost pile. Next chore will be to neaten up the greenhouse to get it ready for spr

Fire

Buxton had another fire this morning. This one discovered by a neighbor while the family away at football practice. Investigation by the State Fire Marshall has not determined a cause other than it wasn't suspicious. Damage was bad in the kitchen and the bedroom above. I took a hose to the 2nd floor but the main fire was behind a kneewall where you see it has burned thru the roof. It was too hot to advance the hose until some venting was done to allow smoke and heat to escape.

Fryeburg Fair Pics

Replica of a Forest Fire Tower. This would normally be on top of a high hill or mountain. Here it is used for education with old equipment and a Ranger talking of life in the fire towers in the past. All the towers in Maine are now manned by volunteers. I would love to have this for myself. It is new this past year. I took the rest of the pics of the fairground from here. Fryeburg Fair is the largest and last fair in the state.

Hurricane Ike

This is my first blogger post so I will keep it easy and see how it goes.

During Hurricane Ike I caught some surfers at Higgins Beach in Scarborough. They had 10 foot waves to practice the sport. A couple came down from Quebec, Canada to catch a wave.
