Lobsta

We return from Cliff Island today, after kayaking in the morning, exploring the bluffs, some mowing, and some brisk ocean swimming. Mary prepared me my first Clam Bake/Lobster Bake, with Lobster, Steamers, corn on the cob, and homemade brownies. (I made the brownies, but they were from her mother's recipe)

We are contented now, laying around reading and digesting. All I can think is, "This girl can cook. Wow."

In The Maine Twilight

Millions of lightning bugs float around the pasture in front of the house, illuminating tiny yellow-green flashes and arcs. The mild weather tonight invites us to stand on the stone wall that looks into the woods, and watch the myriad of ways the bioluminescent insects fly. It looks like fairy dust or magic glowing fields of some fantasy.

But no, it's just Maine.

Cumberland, Land of Fishers

We roll into the peaceful homestead in Cumberland, return Victor the Corrola, and relax with English Muffin pizzas and a nap.
