The sky has a look of molten gold at the horizon this morning

First snow of the season and an early start to the season as well. I heard geese in the cove last night but didn't see any until midmorning when I saw a thin gray line swimming out of the cove in a southerly direction. I both saw and heard the ducks when I went up for the paper at seven a.m. It's now around four p.m. and the water is a very light silver gray, rippling and very cold looking.

I looked out my window and what did I see
but a big pumpkin orange harvest moon
looking in at me

 Two views of kayakers from my window - on Saturday morning two kayakers going by on water as calm and smooth as satin and on Sunday morning two kayakers going by on water as wavy as watered silk

The dew on the grass was so cold this morning it curled my bare toes as I stepped out for the paper. The sun rose as shimmering orange red orb.

A small flock of geese flew over in a westerly direction this morning as we walked up the lane for the paper. And coming around Back Cove before lunch time I spotted a snowy egret. I'm still thrilled remembering the quartet of snowy egrets I spotted there last week.

The shrill cries of the gulls - at the foot of the road a lobster boat heading out to sea - truly a coastal Maine morning
