Wisdom of the Melt
I take my cues from nature. I always have. As I get older I find there is no greater source of knowledge and perspective than natural systems and their inhabitants. I don’t include humans as inhabitants of these systems. I believe that we have lived… Continue Reading “Wisdom of the Melt”
January Surf in Maine
This last round of storms was followed by strong wind resulting in some AMAZING drifts!
Photo Challenge 2016- Still
The normal cycle of snow, melt, snow, repeat– skipped us this year and we have entered the frozen season with no dress rehearsal.

I Lied. The Digging-Out Is The Hardest Part.

Our power only flickered once and aside from Luna acting more homicidal than normal;… Continue Reading “I Lied. The Digging-Out Is The Hardest Part.”
Pyramids- The Snowman’s Angular Cousins.
Last week’s pre-Thansgiving snow storm left us with over a foot of frozen clouds in our yard. I thought to myself- “self, I bet we could make a snow pyramid. WAIT!!! I bet I could get the boys to help me make the whole… Continue Reading “Pyramids- The Snowman’s Angular Cousins.”
Golden cabin fever brain farts.
OK, brace yourselves. Are you sitting down? Yesterday it snowed, again (or is it still?) You are shocked I’m sure. Good thing you were sitting down! Our yard now looks like this: There is still one person here who is beside herself. Please do… Continue Reading “Golden cabin fever brain farts.”
