One Man’s Island by Bob Libby

This month marks the flowering on Chebeague. Starting with the earliest blossoming magnolias in yards down many side roads and the towering dogwoods behindMarks’ house and continuing with the pink and white apple and pear blossoms. Standing on the wharf on Cousins on the first warm afternoon, one notices the thrilling blush of buds on the crowns of all the hardwoods soon to leaf out on Chebeague’s western shore. Daffodils, tulips, and hyacinth bloom in the fields and yards by every road. Azaleas, viburnum, and bleeding hearts line the border gardens. Lupine spikes are set to burst in Newcomb’s Field, and the glorious mountains of forsythia have their shining moment, notably where John Small Road turns east by Phipps’house.

Close your eyes and imagine the glorious blooms of Mothers’ Day, a magical, aromatic moment on our fragile island paradise.
