Color My World

Neon buoy paint. It's that time of year again to freshen up the lobster buoys in my favorite color combination. Hot pink and lime green are the colors I chose to register for my recreational lobster license. And just last year, they became Henri's colors too.

Henri's buoy colors used to be blaze orange and marine blue. But now his license is registered to use these colors as well. [It takes a real secure man to fish with pink buoys don't you think?]

Back inside, I spot my pink wool yarn that I just picked up a couple days ago.

And my best bud, Simon who's been with me now for 34 years.

I think I must have trained my eye to naturally look for these colors, now that I think about it. [Truth be told though, my real inspiration for picking out my buoy colors was from a popular brand of mascara.]

Sign Language

Designed to get attention, these neon colored signs herald the approach of mud season in Maine. When you hear a Mainer say "They posted the roads today." this is what is meant . . .

Around about the same time, while driving, you may notice a few places where you feel the entire road suddenly get yanked out from underneath your tires. There's an explanation for that too . . .

But one of my favorite signs was barely visible just 15 days ago . . .

My very own sign, that tells me I'm getting hungry for lobster!

A most welcome sign in Downeast Maine.
