Up in Bar Harbor

I’m at my friend’s cottage on Long Pond in Bar Harbor, which is surrounded by National Parks.  All you can see from the cottage and dock are trees, mountains and sky.  My shoulders relaxed as soon as I drove down the long driveway.  Tonight my friend, Diana, took me over to her friend Nan’s cottage by boat.  Nan is a 87 year-old character.  Her cottage is the only structure on the National Parks area of Long Pond, there is no electricity or running water.  I could spend a week on her porch writing, listening to the loons, smelling the pine trees and breathing. We left Nan’s cool cottage by the light of the moon and the silence of Long Pond.  The second day of summer is flowing right along with the great blessings of good friends and good times.
