Elephants in Maine

We went to visit Rosie and Opal, two former circus elephants who enjoy their retirement in Hope, Maine.

Bremen Lobster Wharf

We drove to Bremen to get some lobsters and were greeted by the calm see and
 a few lobster boats.

October Sunset

The days are warm, the mornings and evenings cool and the sunsets spectacular!

Llama Cape

Getting ready for the Common Ground Fair with a new design knit with Philippa's llama.

Lobster

The quintessential Maine  experience - lobster on the wharf.

Summer again!

Summer is here and we are launching the sailboat.

Our Bees

Busy as always!

Vinalhaven

This is the view from the ferry to Vinalhaven!

The last ice patch left the lake last week and yesterday the first boat was sighted.
The crocuses in front of the cabins are showing their yellow heads and the daffodils are ready to explode in color. Ah Spring!!!!

Early Spring

The snow is receding but the lake is still frozen solid a few days after Spring Solstice.

Kelly from Romney Ridge Farm dyed some variegated yarn that shows the colors of Maine's woods and water. What better way to show it off than adding a lobster. This is a backpack for sleepovers. It's big enough to hold pajamas, a toothbrush and a few other items one needs on a sleepover.

Mohair cape

What better way to spend a late winter day than walking in the sun being wrapped up in a mohair cape.

DLWA

The lake from the DLWA office looking South

It's the end of January and we have 0 degree temperatures. Luckily we have some wood squirreled away among the trees.

Llama poncho

Another llama poncho

Snowed in

The cabins are snowed in, snuggly enjoying their snowy coat

Last Sunset 2012

This was the view I had from my living room on the last day of 2012. The sun set way down over the lake but was just as spectacular as it is when our guests are here.
