After a thrilling ferry ride last Saturday morning where I nearly lost my breakfast (ha! That was fun!) I’ve fallen back into the Monhegan routine with ease. Daily hikes around the island and walks through town have inspired me to break out my oil paints. I completed my first painting yesterday and have two more blank canvases to fill by Sunday. Inspiration is everywhere.

Last night, after we enjoyed the sunset at the dock, we trudged across the island to the lighthouse to lay in the grass and watch the light beams twirl and the stars twinkle. Monhegan is simply breathtaking and has become a trip I look forward to all year. Right now, it’s about living in these Maine Island moments.

I’m excited to share more of my trip with you next week!

Cheers, Hayley
