Between The Woods and Frozen Lake


We took a 2 hour drive inland today to check on our little spot in the woods, to see how it survived the winter. While there, I found this sweet little bird's nest on the ground right near our camper.


When we arrived, we followed the path down to the lake and noticed there were still a few patches of snow in the woods.



And then we saw that the lake was still frozen.



It's usually almost 10 degrees difference in temperature between here and where we live on the coast in Sorrento. Sorrento is warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer than here.



I like the way the sky looked up there today.




We headed back up the path to check on our camper.




Our two crow salt & pepper shakers looked like they weathered the winter just fine.




Can you believe it reached 60 degrees here today? 67 in Sorrento. You would never know it by the look of that frozen lake though.

Spending a Night in the Woods of Maine


Sunset last night on Lake Wassookeag.


Last night, our good friends Diane and Danny stayed with us in our newly revamped camper about 80 miles inland, in the town of Dexter, Maine. After dinner, we watched a couple movies, ending with Steven King's Cujo just before retiring for the evening.








The next morning, not far from our campsite, I took this picture




It was a strange sight for sure



Very strange . . .







But when you spend the night in the woods in Maine, you just have to be prepared for just about anything you encounter.



Oh, wait! That's just our friend Danny at a nice little Dexter eatery called Noah's Landing.
It was fun folks! We are so fortunate.
