Summer Slippin' Away

The sultry dance of summer is beginning to come to an end. Only three weeks remain before Fall officially takes over, but on a recent afternoon in Port Clyde, the seasonal takeover seemed much closer than three weeks off. The wind off Muscongus Bay picked up about 2 o'clock and held steady through dusk. The temperature must have been in the low 60', but with the wind howling off the bay, the mid 50's seemed more accurate. The afternoon was beautiful for sure, but the sunset over Port Clyde Harbor was simply stunning. As the days become cooler and cooler, the air becomes drier and the colors of the Maine sky become so much more vivid! I count my blessings on a day like today, for as the summer folk begin to clear out, I remain, entrenched and ready for the sweet breezes of September and October to whistle through the pines and whip up the the whitecaps on the ocean.
