Damariscotta History Events That Took Place in the First Two Weeks of July 1948
The old saying “time and tides wait for no one” is so true in many ways. I also find it very interesting to turn the pages back in time and see the many changes that have taken place here in Damariscotta since I was still a young boy in grammar school.
Characters of the County: Sue of the Seabirds
She sat nested among replica birds, rows of plastic eggs arranged on dowels. She wore a paint-splattered sweatshirt, its patterns like the unique markings of an egg. It was oddly quiet for a room full of birds, the walls busy with imagined life: Plastic bodies painted to look like common terns, albatross, other species, tucked in around the paint cans. A row of puffins painted rainbow “for inclusivity,” she said. Photographs and notes pinned to a large cork board, echoing in images the birds around them.

Truck’n in America
Boy, have I got some stories this week. First, let me tell you about a trip I just took to Beantown. So, I get a call from my friend Randall and he says, “Hey Larry, want to go to a Celtics game and a Bruins game next week, Sunday and Monday?” I’m thinking well?

So now the answer is, of course I’ll go!

National Ferret Appreciation Day is April 2. Of course, as a ferret lover, I think every day should be National Ferret Day, but I know not everyone agrees with me. Some of those disagreements come from misunderstandings about ferrets. I’ve heard everything from “they stink” to “they bite faces.” And while every person’s ferret experiences may be a little different, those who take the time to get to know a ferret will find them to be wonderful pets.
Characters of the County: Ceramicist Alison Evans, Cast By the Coast
Razor clams, urchins. Sea clams and giant snails. Round dinnerware glazed in the tones and character of ocean-worn shells, seaweeds, deep water, rich algae. Barnacles, periwinkles. And oysters, of course.

Whitefield
Last Saturday, after a difficult week, I went to get some Kefir from Swallowtail Farm and return a book to the Whitefield Library. Before heading home I stopped at Sheepscot General Store to listen to Andrea share her experience hiking the mountains of Colorado with her family.
Characters of the County: Wearer of Many Hats, Applebee Kept Wiscasset Athletics Afloat this Winter

Whitefield Library The Evolution of a Reader; The Evolution of a Library
Sshhh! A sound I remember from my childhood at the Thayer Public Library in Braintree, Mass. Although it came to epitomize the library atmosphere for me as a child, I will thankfully admit that I was never the cause of its utterance! I was a good little girl!
