last evening

last evening...

In the face of hurricane related thunderstorms, we opted off the net -- and looks like the same may happen later this evening. Boring weather day so far, though. Looks like Norridgewock is getting slammed, but none for us anytime soon.

FWIW, today the day lily count is 2.  I looked around and about ... at the moment I see what looks like 6 incipient  proto-flowers waiting to bud.


Tomorrow... as time permits.

Norridgewock is a wonderful name. Thank you for mentioning it, it makes me happy just knowing that a name like that really exists. (If I hadn't looked it up I'd have thought it was Scots; I presume that it's an English transliteration of the actual name of the people...)

One town over from Norridgewock (once a great manufacturing center, now barely a bump on the river, as it were)is Skowhegan, where we lived when we first moved to Maine and which may have the worlds largest wooden indian. Of particular interest to name and word collectors are the rivers and ponds (which in most places would be lakes)and the lakes, one of which borders on an inland sea ... and the town associated with such.

For example:
Pemadumcook Lake
Sysladobsis Lake
Nicatou Lake
Baskahegan Lake
Mattawamkeag River
Wytopitlock ( a town)
Matawaska (a town)
Seboomook Lake
Squa Pon (lake)
Meddybemps
... and the list goes on.
