Implacable Man, Kym and I went to the shore to pick mussels. They are large, tender, pearl-free mussels. So good I can never order mussels out at a restaurant, they just can\u2019t compare.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back to the house there was an eagle on the Tarn. We pulled over to see why he was just standing on a puddle of water, when he began to gyrate and hop and splash. He was taking a bird bath! We watched for ten minutes, until he flew away.<\/p>\n<p>At home, I made a goat cheese, bacon, and spinach salad and warmed some bread on the wood stove. A perfect Maine dinner, and day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was 50\u00b0, sunny and calm, and the tide was right.
