Changes

Since our last visit to Maine, there have been some dramatic changes down at the little cottage on the water near Jim and Mary's house - where KS&B have stayed in the past. The owners have put in a large septic system and that entailed excavating and putting in some large tanks and a leech field, and all that eliminated a lot of canes and bushes that formerly screened the cottage. Everything is more open now. In the first photo below, the shed on its side, which is next to the cottage, was blown over by the wind last October.

Looking up the hill behind the cottage. None of these structures were visible from this spot before. 

The view from behind the cottage. Again, this was all closed in with bushes, etc., before. 

               View from the beach - this is unchanged

The view from beside the cottage. This is unchanged. The ridge of chips in the foreground was part of an erosion barrier. The owners have invited J&M to help themselves, to use for mulch for their garden and yard.
