The Way Life Should Be

Look at the sea, girls–all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn’t enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds.

–Anne of Green Gables

As promised, a glimpse into a gorgeous week in Maine. Wondering about the title? That’s the tagline on the state highway welcome sign. So completely appropriate! If I wasn’t already working on transferring my teaching certifications to PA, I would pack Nate up and move to the pine tree state in a heartbeat.

This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world:
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.
