Pemaquid is a lovely little town where my father spent his summers growing up. As it turns out, his whole side of the family was there for the 4th of July, so there were many cousins running around. I went and wandered about, visiting the old fort (shrouded by fog) from the early settlers in the 1700s...

... and the accompanying graveyard. I must have spent about an hour in there. The dates of death range from the 1700s to the 1930s, and there are an alarming amount of graves that read simply "lost at sea". Equally alarming are the squadrons of tiny graves which, like poor Normie down there, hold the bodies of small children.

The next morning, the fog had cleared up, the tide was down and the critters came out.

ps: I just discovered a lovely site called ideeli that's having a huge sale right now. Basically it's all this designer stuff — clothes, housewares, you name it — for a fraction of the cost. If you join using this link and buy something, I get credit on my account — which would be lovely because I'm flat-out broke right now.
While we're on the subject, anyone want to buy a blog design? *smiles weakly* Help the poor... aka me?
pps: like the new URL? www.ofhorsefeathers.com is officially up and running. I'd parked the URL ages ago but never set it up. What do you think? I'm going to fix it so you don't have to type in www, don't worry. (right now that just brings you to the parked page) All set :)
