I love walking along the ocean.
In the winter,
if it is above 20 degrees F, at the house,
and if the wind is not blowing,
I like to go for a beach walk.
On Saturday, the 7th, I checked the tide-
it would be low in the early afternoon.
As that is usually the warmest part of the day,
I headed down to Pemaquid beach around 1 pm.
The end of the summer is here,
the nights are cooling down,
and, after a summer that has been very, very dry,
rain has returned.
So, in the last blog post, which was a post that was as much as reminiscing about the past couple of years as much as it was about looking forward, published January 4 of this year, I suggested that we all need things in our lives that gives us a positive feel, something that we could hold on to. And, the first image was that of a sunrise over a friend’s barn.
So, at 2 am the other evening, the light bulb went on, and I went “practice what you preach”!
So, I am going to try to take a shot, each day of a sunrise or sunset. My goal is a month of them. Continue reading January Sunrise Sunset Post
It is hard to believe, isn’t it? Another year. And between weather, disease, and politics it seems like a harsh reality.

I like to make jam!
People always ask, how can you stand canning when it is hot!
Well, I think of it as bottling sunshine and the summer.
Spring in Maine is normally a very spread out affair.
I started a news letter on the day of the winter solstice- it seemed appropriate- the shortest day of the year, the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere. And, you know- I could not write it. The thoughts were so many, and, like the year, hard to process. Below are a few mental ramblings as I look back over this past year, and forward to 2021.
Like many of us, I have been hunkered down at home for a long time. I go from the house to work, and back, with an occasional trip to the market or the hardware store. A customer who lives where they don’t have the autumn coloring that New England has, asked me to take some pictures of the colors of fall.
Maine springs are uncertain times.
Warm, sunny, snowy, windy… all are encompassed in April here.
Maine, like most states is in lockdown. So, this is just me doing some Maine Musings.
