Family Passes at the Library
Did
you know that there is a botanical garden right in our own backyard?
The library has 2 free passes to visit them. They come to us complements
of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. My husband and I
went there yesterday and it is a
wonderful place. It is one of the 'must see' attractions of midcoast
Maine. If you love plants and flowers, or just like being outside in a
beautiful environment, this is the place for you. These passes are given
out on a first come, first serve basis and must be checked out on your
library card for no longer than 1 week. They can not be reserved or
renewed. You can check out their website: http://www.mainegardens.org/
You can also get passes for Children's Museum of Maine, Portland Museum of Art, Maine Wildlife Park and Maine Maritime Museum.

This summer I am reading a wonderful mystery series written by Canadian author Louise Penny. The writing is engaging and beautiful. The little Canadian village, Three Pines, became my ideal vacation spot and the inhabitants of the village my dear friends in no time. Sometimes I read a phrase over and over because it so beautifully and completely describes a scene, or an emotion. The character development is superb. Ms. Penny is a student of human nature who delves deeply into human motivations and weaknesses. Her detective, Inspector Armand Gamache, is an intelligent, suave, erudite head of homicide for the Surete de Quebec. He is a man of integrity and honor. He could be your best friend, your grandfather, or your worst enemy - if you are a murderer. I find myself immersed in these books, not wanting to put them down, or leave them behind when finished. The characters evolve over the course of the stories so this is one series where starting at the beginning and reading in order is a must. The first one is titled Still Life. I hope you will join me in Three Pines for a very satisfying adventure.
