Far Out in the Harbor

 

Far out in the harbor in the pink dusk

of a late June day, lies a schooner fast

to her anchor beneath the first quarter moon.

 

The softness of the scene mesmerizes me

and I imagine I can hear the rigging softly

click and ring against the swaying masts.

 

I quietly breathe in time to the gently

breaking surf. The nearby sounds of the Fiesta

are dampened by my meditation;

I am drawn into the temple of the harbor.

Mark your calendar:  Thursday, July 5 at Rocky Neck Art Colony for Nights on the Neck and the closing reception for Horses and Other Abstract Notions, paintings by Judy Wilburn and Miss Lyn Cardinal at Khan Studio at the GMG Gallery.  Make a night of it.  The first performance – African Drumming with Mamadou – starts at 5:00 at Keith Trefry Memorial Park.  My all time favorite, Bird Mancini will be at Imagine from 6:45-7:30.  Judy’s and Lyn’s closing reception is from 7:00-9:00 and we have the awesome Tony Gallo Band at Madfish Wharf from 7:45-8:45.  Our own Karen Ristuben winds up the night at The Center.  The complete schedule follows.  Don’t miss it.  And don’t forget to stop by The Center at 6 Wonson Street when you arrive to pick up your Scavenger Hunt card.  Also, think about having dinner at Madfish Grille or The Rudder, two of the sponsors of this year’s NOTN.

Horrible’s Parade Disney Themed

Marching Opportunity

From Judy Mckinnon Cape Ann Travel Service;

What I’m looking for with regards to the parade is two things:
At least 6 kids between 10-14:   Two to hold banner and wave with a Mickey hand, 4 more to walk and hand out brochures, throw candy (to people/not at). 🙂
And at least 6 little ones between 4-10 that have Disney character costumes (i.e., Buzz Lightyear, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland) to dress as Disney characters and walk.
I have a couple of costumes (Princess Aurora, Cinderella, Pocahontas, tourist) for little ones – size 4 and size 6) that they could use if need be.
My e-mail address is judy@capeanntravelservices.com .  We’d treat all to a pizza party after July 15th for all volunteers.

From the deck of the sloop Linnet in Biddeford Pool ME.

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
E.B. White (1899-1985)

A graduate of Cornell University, White joined the staff of the New Yorker magazine in 1927 and spent the rest of his working life there writing almost innumerable essays, short features and the humorous “Block that metaphor!” fillers for what is often described, in literary circles at least, as the best magazine in the world. White also wrote children’s books in the forties and fifties, including Stuart Little, The Trumpet of the Swan, and the much beloved Charlotte’s Web, some of the best reading aloud material ever published. White’s 1959 update of William Strunk’s Elements of Style continues to be must reading for anyone who hopes to write clearly. E. B. White was step-father to the baseball writer Roger Angell and the father of famed wooden boat designer Joel White. E.B. won the Pulitzer Prize, the Wilder Medal, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
