Congress to Mellen through Deering Oaks to Deering to Forest is one of the routes I walk or bike home. I’ve always liked this view, from the top of Mellen Street looking down towards Deering Oaks Park.
Restaurants that only serve breakfast and lunch seem to deserve their own special classification in Maine. I’d personally like to see more late-late night restaurants, places where you can get a good meal like at 11 or 1. The night has a special quality. And when I’m sleepless and just want to get out it’s great to get out to a public place at like 12:30 and to be surrounded by the noise of a restaurant kitchen.
The Bayou Kitchen looks good. I’ve never been there, though it’s nearby. Here’s their web site:
As promised, some peonies from the Maine Audubon Peony Bloom & Ice Cream Social. As you can see it is still a little early and most of the peonies haven’t quite opened yet, but probably will in the next few days.
Here’s my ice cream: strawberry ice cream with hot fudge, fresh strawberries, whipped cream and, of course, a cherry. Come back Saturday for some peonies.
