Bag Head

Seen in Rockland, Maine, recently.

Did not get close enough to read

writing on the bag.

Appeared to be a lure

for petitioner/interviewer

with clipboard.

(She'd already snared

seated woman.)

My husband said

if he had to choose

between being the bag guy

and the petitioner

he'd choose to be

the

bag

guy.

You?

Thanksgiving

High on a hill

between Camden and Rockport, Maine

stands this non-denominational

Children's Chapel

a coveted site

for weddings, gatherings

celebrations

and 

contemplation

From here:

wishing you all a

Happeeeee Thanksgiving.

How will you spend the day?

The Lightness of Becoming

There is a point

in the writing of a story

when ideas and images

burst open

and fling themselves

here and there

and you scurry

to 

catch

them

before they fly

away.

Wrapped Schooners

Schooners

like giant white caterpillars

wrapped for the winter

Camden Harbor, Maine

Ms. Millay and Moi

It is good to look

through the eyes of another writer

to see what she sees

to know her terrain

(Me and Edna St. Vincent Millay, Camden, Maine)

Meeting Ms. Millay

Today outside the Camden Public Library

I came upon 

Edna St. Vincent Millay - 

head turned toward Camden Harbor

I followed her gaze

(I tried to post a third photo here,

of me beside Ms. Millay

but it does not want to upload.

Maybe tomorrow . . .)

Settling In

Beginning to feel 'official':

have license plates and driver's license!

Zipping down the 'to do' list, changing:

health/auto/home insurance

doctor, dentist

address 

email

phone

internet server

utility companies

yada yada

(half of those to be done again

in the spring when we move

to more permanent quarters

but still here in Maine)

But in the midst of to-doing

have the chance to

bake a pie with granddaughter

and that is yummmmmm.

You bake anything this week?

With anyone?

Maine Move, continued

The main reason we moved

to Maine

was to follow

the beloved grandchildren

who also recently moved

to Maine

and another good reason

was

this:

a seemingly endless

coastline

of

endless beauty.

I think we're going to

love

it

here.

Have you moved lately?

Do you want to?

Are you already where you most want to be?
