What's happening in Mid Coast Maine AND 10 Days in Photos

Although I wouldn't mind being younger, I'm glad I'm not 22.  There would be so much pressure to apply to be the Maine Sea Goddess.  I just couldn't handle it.

And here, in photos, is a glimpse at our last 10 days:










These last 2 are from this morning:











Finally, people ask me how much snow we've gotten.  Here are 2 photos that tell the story.  First, the beautiful compost bin that David built - photo taken in the summer.












Second, the same bin, photo taken 2 days ago.  Since then, we've had 6 more inches of snow so that right side of the bin peeking through the snow in this picture is now completely buried.



More snow tomorrow night into Sunday.  It's okay, I moved to Maine, not Miami, and in July - during our week of summer - it will be gorgeous here!

Sending warm thoughts out to away and back.  And, in particular, sending love to Helen.

Peace, peace, far and near.
