About: Here is a poem written by the owner of Lyford Cottage describing her time at the cottage ~ Safe Haven A place beyond the rounded, blue-grey stones where boats can rest and oars dry out; where terns and cormorants dive into a calmer sea past the heavy tides where lobster boats putt-putt across the bay checking their pots and moving on. Ducks ignore them swimming in a row, diving now and then heads disappear and reappear. Loons let out a hoot, not quite a laugh, more like an harrumph. The back bay moves more slowly with the sea’s ebb and flow, than at the sea wall where waves crash and spill over. The noon sun hits the water in sharp, sparkled points as though each light dances on the edge of a ripple and the whole bay becomes a sea of illuminated visitors from another place. A sailboat glides past the cove heading for an island so small only nesting sea birds stop by to visit a tired pine unanchored in the sandy soil. Although small, the island adds depth to the scene of Blue Hill Bay across Duck Cove, beyond far off pines, rooted more securely, like a deep blue-green fringe of tree tops, even in a foggy mist, crying out from afar, .by Jean Lyford
