I've lived in New England my whole life, but the weather here will never fail to amaze me. What was a rainy, cold weekend suddenly turned into the most beautiful, sunny Monday.
I sat on my patio yesterday evening, enjoying the warm sun and a good book, and I swear I could smell the ocean. Summer, where are you?!
In this week's newsletter: Read about the Biddeford High School Odyssey of the Mind champions, housing efforts in Saco, and a local author writing crime novels for Mainers.
As always, feel free to email me with story ideas and photos!
Thanks for reading, - Sydney Richelieu |
