Doesn't everyone have 12 chicks in their living room? They are the cutest little bunch of feathers you have ever seen. The Good Captain remarked when I picked them up at the post office, "aayuh, you've have them roosting on the bed frame before I know it..." Silly man doesn't share my fascination with chickens. They are funny and have real personalities, plus I get the happy bonus of fresh eggs sometime in the not too distant future! My well traveled chicks flew from Cincinnati (my home town) to Maine, not under their own power of course ;-)! One of them will lay green eggs, so I been telling everyone that we will be having green eggs and ham...thank you, Dr. Suess.

Good Captain is about to do his first Lobster Tour today. My cousin and her husband are visiting from New Jersey and the big guy is taking Danny out on the big blue this morning. Danny would rather it be the "deadliest catch" but lobestering is much more sedate. Still, gives him a chance to go out and see it up close and personal. The Good Captain is normally a very taciturn fellow but get him started on fishing of any kind and you can't shut him up. I'm sure they will have a grand time plus we get to have lobsters for dinner! Woo Hoo!! My excitment stems from the fact of I don't get them that often, it's kinda like being married to the plummer and your plumbing is habitually broken...

It's another beautiful day and the rest of this holiday weekend is going to be beautiful too. As long as the weatherman gets it right. One thing they say about Maine is, if you want the weather to change wait 15 minutes.
