Hunger Moon

February Full moon above the lake. It's called "Hunger moon" because all living creatures are deep into hunger by February.

Ice Boaters

The members of the Chickawaukee Ice Sailors Club are getting ready to spend the day on Damariscotta Lake. At least a dozen ice boats sail back and forth in front of the cabins and are a delight to watch as they speed across the lake.

ice skating

Here it is - the perfect day for ice skating!

After some rain and freezing temperatures, the lake is a sheet of ice and looks like glass - we were able to skate across the entire lake.

Lace cowl

Just finished this cowl, knit from a blend of a baby mohair goat's first shearing, Diane's finnsheep and silk. It is as soft as angora and as lustrious as mink and, oh, so warm, whether wrapped around the neck or worn as a headscarf.

We have very little snow this winter but were graced with snowfall on Christmas Day

First snow

This beech tree was surprised by a first snowfall before it completed its fall show.

Photo shoot

The mohair shrug is fresh off the knitting needles and my model is getting ready to be photographed for the latest pattern.
