Route 123 flower cart

August 7, 2025

My family and I have vacationed on Bailey Island for more than 40 years, and we always stopped at a flower stand on Route 123.

The cart is no longer out, but we would like to thank the person or people who offered their flowers for sale for many years. We purchased many wonderful bunches of flowers to bring to our rental place. Thank you.

Observations on the field

Recently, while walking Mitchell Field with my dog, I took an informal bird count. On the lower field, I chalked up a bobolink sighting right off the bat. These seasonal migrant birds are endangered and need the open meadows for raising their young.

Equal representation in Harpswell

Equal representation is one of the basic tenets of our Constitution. Every 10 years, based on the latest census data, states divide their population into electoral districts of roughly the same size to ensure that the votes of each community carry roughly the same weight.

Greater risk of water shortages

I read with interest the article "More wells running dry as drought grips Harpswell." Once-reliable wells are running dry and water storage systems are becoming more prevalent as "property owners run out of other options." Harpswell's geology makes wells harder to drill and more likely to run dry everywhere, especially near the shore.
