Weekend Bliss

Big shout out to Lori, who hosted Simon, me and even Merwin (the dog, not the poet, although that would've been pretty cool if the poet was there. Lori, what the heck??) at her family's island oasis in Northern Maine for the weekend. Despite arriving amid a feisty thunderstorm, it was easy to slip into the relaxed pace of morning coffee watching the loons, boat floating, and some of the most silky smooth water to dive into.

Merwin loved it too, of course. Despite falling off the boat (his fault), he seems to finally like swimming. He won't be entering the doggy Olympics anytime soon but it's nice to see him give it a try even if his style leaves a little (a lot) to be desired.

Sorry for the blurriness...not tech saavy.
