These are Darlene's 4 new tulips that she planted last winter. She left town before they bloomed (she left May 16) so I promised I would let her know what color they were. I took the first two photos on May 18 when they were just blooming, then it got chilly and they closed back up, which is what is seen in the bottom two photos taken on May 19. This is so weird! It's the middle of May and tulips are just now blooming! It's worth the wait. :-)
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
