My Old Maine River

The Medomak is one of Maine's most beautiful and unspoiled rivers. Ironically, it runs through one of the state's more populated and prosperous regions. It's a short river, but drains a huge watershed. 

The view from my kitchen sink, pictured below, focuses on one of the few points of ready access to the river, so complete has been attention to protective zoning. 

See the pear tree in the middle of Mrs. Creamer's field? My first husband used to climb it every year and trim off the rampant new growth. I was not able to keep up the project after he passed away.

The Medomak at this point is still an estuary, viewed here at high tide.  Six hours from this instant, only a modest trickle will flow through. 

By the way, my house with this extravagant view is for sale:
