No motor lodge for me!
So, despite to my late-night fears to the contrary, described in last week’s entry, we were able to find a cottage for the week after the wedding. I think it may have been the cheapest one we came across in our searches, but it sounds lovely. It’s on Barter’s Island, which is a five-minute drive from my parents’ house, across an old-fashioned swing bridge. (FYI: I just discovered that, serendipitously enough, if you Google “swing bridge,” the first hit is this very one. You should visit the site because there’s a very cute set of pictures of the bridge operater opening it by hand; apparently it’s the only hand-operated swing bridge in Maine.) Our cottage will be on the west side of the island, overlooking the Sheepscot. In less than seven months I’ll be there. This is all getting real, all of a sudden.

Thank you for the suggestion to check out google/swing bridge. Having been under that bridge more often than over it, and never having seen it swing, this was fun! Those summer colors of bright sun and blue sky make me yearn to be finished with snow and gray skies. This season is necessary, though, to make those days in Maine even more precious.
