A big wind blew in last night. Doors slammed, windows rattled, the dog jumped in bed, and the air was dry for the first time all summer. After a year of talking about it, long lists of groceries procured, and the boat provisioned, the sailors sailed off the mooring. Down East to Canada. Rosie and I watched until they went over the horizon. A little sad and exhilarating at the same time. We walked to the store, stocked up on my favorite foods returning home looking forward to holing up with my old self for a time.
