I didn’t take a lot of pictures this time, the goal being to do a brain reset, and try to flush out the toxins manufactured by worry. I walked a lot, and people-watched, and worked on a jigsaw puzzle while I listened to Cotillion, by Georgette Heyer, which was remarkably relaxing. I also read the new Murderbot, though not while I was doing the puzzle.

The next door neighbors were well-protected.
My route to breakfast took me past an empty parking lot which someone had adopted as a street art canvas.

I spent a lot of time working on a jigsaw puzzle. I foolishly thought I’d finish it in a week, and had to scramble out to Staples in Biddeford to get a portfolio so I could bring it home.
“The Dead Pearl Diver,” Benjamin Paul Akers. This sits in the center of a round room at the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art, with a skylight above. I had hoped he was only sleeping. . . Also? Yes, that net is marble.
Time to go home, May 29 2026

Hope you had a lovely, restorative week ?
Love these pictures. Winding down is always a good thing. Plan another soon!
It appears that you were able to relax, Sharon. ‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished!!
Beautiful, Sharon. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures. Those porch views are so relaxing.
I’m impressed by your light packing!
