Spring has finally come to Maine!!

It has been a long winter here in Maine. The winds and cold have finally calmed down and spring seems to be in the air. Today I opened the office glass doors and walked out on the veranda to view the brave souls that had taken their boats out in the bay to feel the fresh spring air.

The Captain and I have had an enjoyable winter getting to know each other and he has helped me so much with the book that I am writing on him and his adventures.  We have spent many happy hours just sitting by the fire in the den and talking and I find myself falling very deeply in love with this wonderful loving man. I can tell that he has strong feelings for me too. I don't know what will ever become of this relationship, but I have decided to live one day at a time and let the future be what it may. I will not leave him and hope he will be here with me for as long as I am able to have him.

Daydreaming with my arms wrapped around my chest for warmth, I didn't notice him come behind me on the veranda. He took his jacket off and put around my shoulders and wrapped his arms around me as he gently kissed me on my head.  I feel so at peace and so much happy in his arms.

We just stood there and watch the few brave sailors  taking their boats out for a day of fishing and some just to cruise on the water. I could stay in his arms for the rest of my life. Just the two of us, here in this house.
