Here’s a milestone for you: Two-year-old boy runs into a HEDGE of poison ivy and highly-allergic mother has to hoist him out of the plant material.

I have about 597 Maine photos I could be posting today, but summer keeps rolling on and I loved these photos of boys and ice cream from last Friday, taken at a new local farm stand/farm/dairy bar.

I have… …seen a little boy’s dream come true: a candy-filled pinata hanging from a digger. …600 plus photos to wade through. …four small pieces of Maine granite on my washing machine, removed from various pockets, also one half of a sand dollar, three bird feathers and a snail shell. Relieved to find no dessicated…
