The blueberry harvest is upon us and Hannah is in her third summer working at Wyman’s. The first couple weeks she worked with HR, then she moved over to operate one of the scales that weighs pallets of berries the trucks bring in from the fields. Since the scale work started, she’s been on 12-13 hour days, seven days a week. So when she called on Sunday to say she was getting out early, we celebrated. Lunch at The Pickled Wrinkle and some time at Schoodic Point taking in the sights and surf.

After so many gray, foggy days, mother nature smiled upon us with hazy blue skies and big puffy clouds.

We had fun taking pictures only to realize that both of our camera memory cards were full. We spent more time deleting old images so we could capture new images of the day.

Sitting on the rocks, watching the surf crash against the rocks, Hannah spotted the “dinky birds” as she calls them on the rocks.

The sandpipers have returned!

We spent the next hour watching them scurry about the rocks, seemingly unfazed by the crashing waves.

We only have the semipalmated sandpipers for a month or two as they feed in order to continue their migration from the arctic to South America.

All in all, a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
