A few weeks ago, the St. John's Bazaar comes to town, as it does every June. It's a weekend festival of the scary, quickly-assembled type. I haven't gone to it since I was quite young, but I did take some pictures of the ferris wheel this year:
A lot has happened since my last update, but I'm afraid not much of it was particularly interesting. One of the more interesting things to occur was the arrival of two of my second cousins from Sweden. From left to right, Sofia, Anna, and me (with my grandmother in the background):
Tomorrow I am heading off to Massachusetts on the first leg of a trip that will include visits for friends in Boston, Bennington, and possibly Northampton.

Bonus: When we took him for a walk, I saw about half a dozen robins... and a killdeer!
Though Portland has a great many beautiful brick buildings, there are of course many that are far more prosaic. This is one of them:
The weather today was absolutely fantastic! so it seems all of Portland took the opportunity to eat lunch outside, including this guy:
