The almost-full moon was hanging, huge and silvery-gold, over Mackworth Island as I came across the causeway, returning from a full day of sailing. The sky was a lavender-pink and the water was blue and ripply. The tide was low at 4:03 this afternoon and it was flooding in under the bridge, into the Penobscot River estuary. A lone fellow with a fishing pole was climbing over the guardrail on the bridge, staking a place to cast his line into the flooding tide. I don't know what he's fishing for -- are the stripers still running? It was like the most beautiful summer day, except it's the end of September, and the sunset came just after 6. Now I'm home, sunburned and tired, looking forward to a long dark evening, curled up with tea and acorn squash and a piece of blueberry pie and my book.
