I had a fun 4th with my friend Wendy. Nothing like a parade in small town Maine, especially the politically provocative Round Pond parade. This parade has no funding, no parade committee, nothing like that. People who want to be in the parade simply show up before noon and line up. Then the parade starts promptly at noon.
This float starring Trump was pretty funny. The signs said things like: They're mounties, they're lumberjacks and some I assume are good people! I'm building a wall and Canada is going to pay! Deport Bieber!  haha
Say nay to eh!
Another build a wall between U.S. and Canada
"Eh you hosers, keep out, eh! 
Pemaquid Watershed Assoc.
 And yet another build a wall float. Quite the theme this year. This wall was with pabst blue ribbon beer. I didn't know that was even still around. The Great Wall of Round Pond. Not allowed: jaywalkers, roadhogs, Massholes, lawyers, etc. Allowed: naked j-birds, donutholes, fisherman...
The people in this jeep were coneheads. "We seek mass quantities of lobster". "We are from France." v. funny
After the parade, Wendy and I went to Pemaquid Harbor on that perfect sunny Maine day and had oysters and margaritas at The Contented Sole.
On Wednesday, had a perfect afternoon out on Barbie Dreamboat. After lots of wind this summer, it was a peaceful day on the water. Here she is at sunset.
And, a picture from this morning, a cool gray day, only in the 60's. My hydrangeas are just starting to be blue. After no blooms last year, this is going to be a good one.
