Winter glory
I know I’ve said it before, but I LOVE winter, and I love winter in Maine. Imagine getting to see this sort of beauty and inspiration within (literally) a snowball’s throw from the garage doors and while walking the dog-beasties?!!! I’m on to do a small challenge quilt by the end of February on “Winter,” and I think after my walk at 5 yesterday (pitch dark!) I’ll do moon on snow with trees…… Here’s the neighborhood:
In the backyard:
The woodpiles:
Taking a gamboling puppy out for walkies (bunnies do the bunny hop, ‘Widgeon does the pug hop!)—and the deeper the snow, the more his short little doggie body loves it!
St. Francis on watch…. this was in my late father-in-law’s garden in southern California, moved with him to Washington state, moved to our house on San Juan Island when he died (St. Francis’ feast day is the same date as my birthday… I knew I liked him!), and then came to Maine:
The snowy branches, undisturbed by winds, look like the tracery on medeival cathedral windows:
And the trees in front of the Squibb’s house and the dangly branch next door:

Snow in Maine looks a lot like snow in Vermont! We love it too — to look at at least…
Love the pug hop! Our cats seem to avoid the deeper snow. Sensible beasties!
