Fox Islands windmill sound recording – Monhegan’s future?
Monheganers can now contemplate the sort of sound that would accompany an on-island windmill, should one be built on your fair isle. Just listen to a podcast of an hourlong unedited recording of Fox Islands Windmills’ sound on Vinalhaven. Recorded midnight January 1st 2010, when sound meter registered 49-49 dBa. Recorded on porch of a house one half mile from closest windmill. Note the endless warbling “jet-engine” howl. Background “hiss” is wind in nearby tree branches. As reference, note wind chimes at 13 minutes and 30 seconds. For more info about the recording and related issues, go to Fox Island Wind Neighbors website.

The Ripening – Thais Gloor
THE RIPENING
Oh, where’s the pail?
No, the berry pail..
Ah, there it is -
Grab it and run
The sun is high
It is warm
It is
the end
of July
I am dreaming of pie!
Toasty warm,
fragrant,
delicious
blueberry pie
from my toasty warm,
fragrant,
delicious
blueberry patch kind of day
today
