I think of you and your blog from time to time and wanted to tell you that I miss your blog and your thoughts and must drop by more often to visit you. Hope all is well and I have a few months catching up to do.

And looked at every house for sale on the Maine coast on Zillow. Haha of course I'm only fit to be a fair weather Mainer. Who wouldn't want to live in Maine in July? January...ehh. I'll do a more elaborate 4th celebration in August when my whole family can come. I'm sorry you were homesick yesterday! It's clearly a very beautiful time to enjoy your home. But the wonderful thing about the Fourth of July is that you can celebrate it any time you'd like. The spirit of the day has no expiration. there will just be less drunk drivers on the road and the wind will not carry the smell of burned hot dogs. Doesn't sound so bad! And I think buntings will look absolutely fabulous on your black bean cottage any time.
