http://maineoceanlover.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Geeking out at Owls Head. Getting into it with Kerry and Sarah! It was a rumor that had to be investigated. Somewhere, sometime, I had heard that there were tidepools at the Owls Head Light. Good tidepools. Tidepools worth tromping through. I might have read it in Shumway. I tried to get there just a couple of weeks ago. This is what it looked like in town:.

An Ocean Lover in Maine. Exploring Maine one beach, cove, trail, boat, bird, whale, tidepool, lobster roll at at time. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Being and Doing, rather than Having. It was a nice house, wasn't it? No, it was an estate sale and the family just needed to get rid of the boat. Was he available to show it this weekend? Sure, Sunday would be great. In the afternoon. Right after I ran 26.2 miles. I crossed the finish line at around noon; tired and cramped after a particularly difficult morning ...

Sophie's Words: November 2011
http://sophies-words.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 November 2011. Use it or lose it. It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.". George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four. I have been reflecting just lately on language. I love words; and I love the way they can be put together with huge subtlety, enabling us to express with precision and beauty the tiniest detail, thought, or experience. I was revisiting a favourite episode of John Esmonde and Bob Larbey's 1970's BBC sitcom The Good Life. You two are very quiet. I've finished as well. There ...

http://sophies-words.blogspot.com/2011/10/all-things-must-pass.html
Tuesday, 18 October 2011. All things must pass. Well, it's that time of year again.

My friend Shirley asked me about how I came up with the name. So I was doing a lot of jumping to and from mossy stepping stones, balancing on logs, and occasionally bashing my head on rhododendron! Among the plastic, I found four milk bo...
