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

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?
