Late Fall in Maine


Post Halloween at our place, with more leaves on the ground than in the trees. 



The grackles have been coming to our feeders in droves today.  Every time I grabbed  my camera they would see me and scatter, but I managed to get this shot through the window before they saw me. 



There is still some pretty color left along the route we take on our daily walk. 




Yet by the time we finish our walk, we've noticed it gets darker a little bit earlier each day.  




Henri took this zoomed in shot of the early morning fog right outside our window when he woke up at the crack of dawn the other day. 




We just got finished unloading 2 tons of bio bricks into our cellar that the delivery guy brought tonight after dark.




Now I think this tired Maine gal will retire for the evening and thoroughly enjoy a good night's rest.  And we'll see whose feet hit the deck at the crack of dawn tomorrow.  I already know it won't be mine.

Extremes

While I was over at Eagle Lake in Acadia National Park earlier this week I
took this shot

In order to compare it to the shot I took 4 1/2 months ago at this very same spot.



The next morning I made this chocolate creme pie.



Today I made these fruit smoothies to help atone for the pie.



I do not know much about planting or using garden twine.



But I figured out I could use it to knit a new door mat for mud season.




March will be coming in like a lion...here's to hoping it leaves like a lamb.
