A few more winter pics, because it’s already melted and I didn’t have a chance to post them.
.
.
Pink sky in morning…
.
.
I swear this spring robin is saying WTF!
.
.
Not yet little plants.
.
.
We have a small Amish population scattered across our state and every once in a while we see them.
.
.
😊
.
.
I’m usually up early in the morning and often see the moon go down.
.
.
It’s beautiful in the winter….
.
.
Bouncing off the white snow, against a blue sky.
.
.
So I brave the cold and trot out front in my pajamas for a few nice photos.
To find I’m not the only one with that idea.
.
.
We have large open spaces around our property and people often stop for Kodak moment.
.
.
Good thing he was facing the other way. No one needs a picture of me at 5:00am wearing penguin pj’s.
.
.
😊
.
.
Trust me, you really can’t.
.
.
I’m almost afraid to ask what she was letting go of…

*Note to Travel Architect… please include this colony on your upcoming trip*

I can attest to the veracity of this affliction.

What can I say?
Maine winters are long.
.
.
Of course he does.
.
.
That.. my friends, is the very definition of useless news.
.
.
I live in Maine.
I like winter, cold weather and snow.
I do not like the warming trend and temperatures that now fluctuate during storms.
And I most definitely do not like ice.

Where’s Sharon Stone when you need her?
.
.
We haven’t seen much of our resident deer this winter because… well, we didn’t have much of a winter in Maine this year.
But with the late season snow storm came our backyard buddies.
.
.
I sure have missed them.
.
.
Love to watch the young ones kick up their heels and scamper around.
.
.
.
That big guy in the foreground is a buck.
.
.
He has a nice little harem.
😊

I’m all about buying quality furniture. The dining room set we’re replacing served us well for almost 40 years and I’m hoping this new set will outlive us. It was pricey, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Of course cost is relative. $11,000 is a good chunk of change to us but clearly a pittance to others.
.
.
Yes, you read that correctly.
$80,000 for a mattress.
.
.
Horse hair?
For 80 grand it should be stuffed with cashmere.
.
.
Granted, if you levitate like that every night it may be worth it.
.
.
The bed gets free massages.
The rich truly are a different species…
.
.
While most of you are enjoying tulips, daffodils and other cheerful harbingers of warm weather…in Maine things look a little different.
.
.
We had a good old fashioned N’or Easter on Thursday.
.
.
With high winds and wet heavy snow.
.
.
It was the pretty kind that sticks to bushes and makes everything feel like a winter wonderland.
.
.
But it also weighed down trees, snapped branches and left half of our state without power.
.
.
I think we ended up with a foot, though with the wind it’s hard to tell.
.
.
Since the temperatures hovered near freezing it was that awful wet, heavy snow that you have to constantly go out and clear before it becomes too saturated to move.
.
.
Yes… springtime in Maine can be a bit of a challenge.
😉
.
.
My husband may not be a mailman, but his version of that age old creed says nothing will come between him and his television. Not even the ripping Maine N’or Easter with 50 mph winds and heavy wet snow that pummeled us yesterday leaving half our state without power.
Thankfully we never lost electricity… but when my spouse lost the satellite signal?
Out he went.
.
.
Digging in the shed for a ladder.
.
.
Trudging across the back lawn…
.
.
To knock the wet snow off the dish.
.
.
Reception restored, he trudged back in the house…
.
.
Only to return an hour later for more sweeping.
.
.
What can I say?
.
.
The man really likes his tv.
🤣
.
.
Go on.
It won’t take long.
.
.
I could say jewelry, jam or jellybean because who doesn’t love those?
I could say jasmine, jokes or julep because they all make me smile.
But I think I’ll go with joy…
Because I’m f*cking delightful.
Now you…
.
.
Because I live to educate.
.
.
Booming Beaver is the best name for a Navy ship… ever.
.
.
I want to snuggle a puggle!
.
.
Factory work is not all it’s cracked up to be.
.
.
Poor Ruth, she looks a little frazzled. Was Donald Trump’s grandfather running that pageant…?
.
.
On behalf of all women everywhere… no.
That’s a hard pass.
