Thanksgiving
This year, I went back to Small Point to spend the holiday with my boyfriend's family.
Aside from the great company and much needed break from cell phone service and internet, Maine proved to be just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer.

Maine and Lobster
I can't wait to go to Maine next week for Thanksgiving. I know it'll be a relaxing (and delicious) break from the humdrum of my 45 hour work week.
...and speaking of Maine and delicious-ness, my Nana had something to say about lobsters in a recent email that I found amusing:
"They brought enough lobsters to open a lobster house. I do not find any thing that special with the poor animals, to justify their atrocious death, or prohibited price."
-Nana
words of 70-something year old woman.

Passion.
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”- Maurice Sendak

Great Falls
This weekend, Mokey and I visited Great Falls National Park. The waterfalls are only 15 miles outside of DC. The drive on the GW Parkway and the winding and hilly one lane road through the forest is very scenic, it was a great path towards a few hours of peacefulness and solitude.
Mokey was on a leash for the most tourist-y part of the park: the overlooks of the waterfalls. The three views are beautiful, but Mokey was the one getting the most compliments. Many people came up to us to flatter her, including a park ranger. There was one woman who told me that she wished her dog was as friendly as Mokey, because although her dog is just as beautiful, she is very mean. I am lucky.
There were a pair of kayakers that braved the rapids and went in for a closer view.
After checking out the overlooks, Mokey and I left the congested area of the park to do some off-trail and off-leash exploring. The park is beautiful right now! The leaves are in their colorful peaks, there are streams, random clearings, and paths that take you right up to the water's edge. I was so happy to be part of this little pocket of the universe. I think Mokey was too because she spent the majority of the time sprinting in circles.
Sunny glow on this pond.
