On most permit able evenings I take my dog Hannah for a sunset walk along our beautiful little Harbor . She, Hannah the dog, (as Marta calls her) loves to sniff her way along the shoreline. She so enjoys visiting with all the other dogs who are out for their evening stroll. Several dogs live along side the Harbor and bark hello at us as we make our way along the waters edge.
There is something magical about this special body of water . It is a place that in some ways time forgot..
It has working Boatyard that caters to the mostly small to mid sized boats and their owners who call it home from early spring till late November.
At times when the tide is full high the sea water is level with the road.
The photo above was taken at sunset and the sky was so many colors.
Along the way there are Ducks, Cormorants, beautiful Blue Herons, King White Egrets and two pairs of Mute Swans. For those of you who may not know Mute Swans mate for life.
I have been researching the habits of a pair of these Swans with the hope of one day writing a series of Children’s books about them.
They have lived in a tiny cove near the Boat yard in the same part of this quiet harbor for at least 5 years. Every spring they build a huge nest very near the edge of the narrow road that follows along the Harbor.
Several years ago after a terrible spring storm I gave them names, Stella and Henry and their 5 year union has long outlasting some of the human marriages I have known.
I will need to write another post along with photos to tell you more about my very special relationship with Stella and her handsome and very protective Swan mate Henry.

Dear Annabella ,
I always have this feeling that perhaps some in our family think that I am more attached to your big sister Marta then I am to beautiful little you..
Perhaps they assume that because Marta is alot like me therefore she is more important to me then you are.
Yesterday I was looking at the photos that your babysitter Marta posted , and I just kept looking at you and your beautiful little face… wishing so much that I could just reach thru the screen and put kisses all over it.
I just wanted you to know that Marta & Mimi are alike in many ways, some good and some not so good, but you my little beauty are like me too.
You do know that Mimi’s have many places for their children and grandchildren in their hearts, especially this Mimi.
I promise you that one day if everything works out for us, you and I will finally have some time to really get to know one another.
Mimi loves food and loves to cook, so perhaps you will enjoy cooking with me one day. Your Mimi loves to walk along our beautiful Harbor at Sunset with Hannah the dog, perhaps you would find a sunset walk to your liking as well.
Mimi loves to read books and she can hardly wait until you have found a very special book so we can snuggle up all by ourselves and read it together.
One day when we are not so very far away and we don’t have to live on the other side of the Earth from one another..one day I hope I can show you how much my heart loves you.
Perhaps one day, if everything goes the way I so hope and pray to my own grandmother each night when I close my eyes and go to sleep dreaming of that someday when my beautiful Anna and I can be together and just be.
I Love you,
Your Mimi
XOXOXO…sending big hugs from Mimi and & kisses for your beautiful little face.
