Snowmobilers

A group of snowmobilers woke me up at 6:00 in the morning. First it was the sound of their snowmobiles, then the sound of the ice augurs as they dug their ice fishing holes.

I wonder if they got lucky and caught some fish...

X-country skiing

We made a x-country skiing trail from Glidden Street to the oyster shell middens. The trail follows along the Damariscotta river which boasted some ducks on this sunny day.

Holding on

Our "Charlotte" rose is sporting green leaves and shows signs of growth during snowstorms at 0 degree F (-15 C) temperatures. We planted the rosebush late last fall, it started blooming in November and now we can't wait to see the splendor of it's bloom next summer.

January Full Moon

The first full moon of the year! Sun in Capricorn, moon in Cancer. Last night I went for a walk in the moonlight. Night seemed as day. Early this morning the moon set in the West.

My neighbor

When I went for a walk today my neighbor's horse came over to do say "hello".

Snowstorm

It was exciting to watch yesterday's snowstorm through the living room window.

Today is shoveling day.

Ice fishing

The first ice fisherman of the winter and his dog ventured onto the lake today. The fish were biting and at the end of the day he was a happy man.

Lone squirrel

It's January - and a lone squirrel is looking for leftovers under the birdfeeder.
