​blog: You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Opening to change

​            When Jonathan and I have time off, we’re inclined to pack up and go away somewhere. This little stretch of staycation has been filled with unexpected pleasures. Yesterday we climbed Gorham Mountain in Acadia National Park. That jewel of an island never fails to awe the senses. Rockytop mountains are so easily accessible, and every one has a vista over the island-speckled sea.
            Today, for the first time in who-knows-how-long, Jonathan and I “played house,” ie: cleaning, clearing, cooking, homemaking in preparation for visitors, soon to arrive. Nothing sparks action like anticipated homecomings.
            We are opening up to change. One dramatic illustration was Jonathan inviting Clara to sit in the front seat of the car to join him on a trip to the dump. Clara looked as stunned as I was, since J is strictly a no-dogs-on-seats kind of guy.
            Speaking of Clara, I decided to feature her in today’s photo. Her 80-pound body adds  perspective to this evening’s sensational sky show.
