Dark Evening Sky

Posted by Pamela Leavey on August 22, 2009

I thought I might find more color in the evening sky tonight when I took my walk at Newburyport’s Waterfront Park. No such luck. It was more like a winter sky:

Leaving Eastport with a Heavy Heart

Posted by Pamela Leavey on May 19, 2009

I love Eastport, Maine. It had been a dream to move here for a few years. Sadly, you never know what direction your life will take you in and that is what I find myself in the midst of at this time. Although I am excited about the prospect of moving back to the area of Massachusetts where I grew up, I will be leaving Eastport, on Friday with a heavy heart.

It’s been a joy to live across the street from my wonderful niece, Lisa and her family. They were in fact one of the primary reasons that my daughter and I moved here to Eastport.

I’ve been sorting through what I want to do next with my life, like many who have been affected by the economic downturn we are in, I am looking to re-invent myself. Come what may… For now I continue to keep looking…

I Wish

I wish the sky had looked like this today:

It was grey and stormy instead. More snow on it’s way. I’ve heard it’s been a rough winter here in Eastport this year. I think Mother Nature decided to break me in hard and fast for my first winter here. If I can make it through this one, the other winters here to follow won’t seem so bad.
