In addition to the local shortcut, north-south traffic can use Rts. 295 and 95 to avoid Route 1, which is slow in both directions, particularly on weekends when vacation cottages turn.

Pale blue borage flowers would be nice in there, too. And of course don't forget the nasturtiums, which come in a wide range of yellows to reds through all the oranges. What's the family story of the chocolate chip cookies? Gorgeous! Pale blue borage flowers would be nice in there, too.

What’s the family story of the chocolate chip cookies?

There's a lot of pedestrian traffic for all the other terrific places to drop money in Wiscasset: Treats, Rock Scissors Paper (now in a new and larger location) and Sarah's, among others. Personally, I'm glad to see the long lines at Red's, because that means shorter lines at Sarah's across the street, for the best lobster pizza in the world (especially when served with a chilled white wine). Also the most expensive, but who cares when you're starting your vacation in Maine? And the locals know about the short cut -- heading north on Rt. 1, turn left onto 218 just at the top of the hill, then right on Sheepscot Road in a few miles. Take Sheepscot Road back to Rt. 1 just outside Damariscotta. Voila! This will be less effective on a Saturday; when we were just there, the northbound traffic was backed up way before the Ford dealership (my personal measure for Is This Traffic Terrible Or What?). However, if you're heading south out of Damariscotta, it's a breeze! I don’t think Red’s is the culprit, at least not solely.

Haven't been to Wiscasset in a while, but we DID just boil up some lobstahs at home a couple weekends ago. With plenty of butter and corn on the cob. Just needed you to take the photos!

To know Biff was to love him. We all lost a remarkable person when Biff died, and for those fortunate to have called him their friend, lost a true friend as well. We remember Biff often and still miss him. Nina, Frank and the girls Thank you! To know Biff was to love him.

Please thank Audrey for the violets in the salad idea. Even though blue is not a big food color and therefore a little weird, your photo of her salad looks absolutely beautiful!

You nailed it: Grace. Thank you for the wonderful things you are doing and for sharing.
