Fireworks

Mother Nature provides us with gorgeous sunsets here at the Inn. The colors are quite spectacular, and it is normally very quiet and calming. This past week has not been so quiet as the 4th of July fell on a Wednesday, and there have been fireworks almost every night. As we sit on the top of the island, we can see many miles, and thus, many of the towns fireworks. We have seen them from Chebeague Island, Yarmouth, Portland,  South Harpswell, on of course Bailey Islands own fireworks. Tonight LL Bean is having a 100th year anniversary party and is setting off a huge display. Provided it does not rain, we should see those as well! 

The State of Maine legalized the sale of fireworks this year for the first time, so many folks have purchased them and are setting them off as well. There are varying rules from town to town as to where, type and what time you are "suppose" to set them off. But, I can vouch for the fact that the rules are being broken!  So, everywhere you look after dark, there is a show.

The weather has also cooperated for the festivities. It has been hot and sunny for most of the week. It did rain on the 4th itself, so Portlands show was put off til the 5th. There is a bit of rain today, but it is suppose to clear.

So, all in all, it has been a nice 4th of July week......full house, great guests, good fireworks, nice weather......and of course, our gardens are full of color as well! We have much to be thankful for!

Hope you are all well! Sue
