Day 15.230: Exile #2's Sunday Column #406

We’ve been pretending to be on vacation this weekend, so this morning we headed off to Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park for a walk. It’s a very lovely park with a shady path along the rocky coast and through some sweet smelling hemlock woods. It also has some great views across Casco Bay to some of its many islands. I read for the first time the other day that the islands of Casco Bay have at some times been called the calendar islands - because there are as many of them as there are days in the year. I don’t know if that is remotely close to being true but it makes for a good story and a very pretty coastline.
