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.
