Messalonskee Clay Dig

 

SHIRLEYANNE OF ME (Maine)

Clay was formed following the last glacial period in Maine. From Augusta south to Portland the deposits are greater and the clay appears more blue-grey. In Waterville and to its north the clay has a more brown-grey appreance (more organic debris remains).

When I did deep into my backyard, I do get some deposits of the blue grey clay.

This is a public site. It is at the Boat Launch to the Messalonskee, at the start of the Messalonskee Trail and behind the North Street Organic Gardens.

Grow or Glow (Comments)

 

“Do you want to grow in the New Year 2010?” Or “Do you want to glow in the New Decade?”

A simple ‘personal survey question’ that I asked some co-workers.  It is a simple choice between the words ‘grow’ and ‘glow’.

Some respond:

“Can’t I do both, Grow and Glow?”

“Grow. 10 years is too long for me to think ahead. I take one day at a time, and I have a lot of myself to renew this year.”

"Glow. Americans just don't take enough time to make long term plans. Everything is instant.

“Glow. I don’t want to grow any bigger, (referring to body weight.)”

“Grow. My mind is still growing; I have a lot to learn.”

“Glow. I’m getting older and need to glow the next 10 years.”

“Grow. This year is not the start of a new decade, that’s a mistake.”

“Grow. I’m always green.”

“Glow. It takes a long time to make a change.”

"Grow. Glow makes me think radioactive.”

“Glow. So you took the short route to grow.”

“So what do you want to do?

Come on, you have to tell too!”
