Minus 3

One glance out the window early

this morning reveals just how cold

it became overnight.

When the rhododendron leaves are

curled up very tight it means VERY cold!

-3 F in this case!

Brrrrrrr

Wonderful clouds yesterday...too cold and windy

for us to walk!

Early this morning it was 3 degrees (F) and the high 

may only be 12 degrees for the day!

Pink Sunset

Serenity!

Snowing and Painting

Snowing this morning...

painting in my little room

as I work on my Polly Book.

 

Fog and Warmth

Sunday was a very foggy day...the air temperatures

were warming up and melting the snow creating 

ground fog that was very beautiful and mysterious!

A quiet walk at the beach

as foot steps disappeared into the fog.

 

 

Today was so warm, we didn't need jackets.

Hmmmm, this is January in Maine!

The tide was very high.

 

The snow melted enough so that D could 

get to the vegetable garden and peer under

the plastic enclosure that had collapsed 

from the weight of the last snowstorm.

To his delight he pulled out a leek!

The leeks got a late start in planting

last year so he was very surprised

to see this. There are more

and it is such a treat to have some

winter leeks!

Sunday

I had an early morning breakfast  with

Brody over here

and then later D surprised me with the

above!

As he described it:

blueberry gluten free waffle (Van's frozen waffles),

strawberry jam with medallions of bananas

and cutie clementine wedges!

It looked beautiful!

Among the treasures found on the beach today
were 6 sand dollars for January 6th!

Touch of Red

Even in winter there are touches of red...

On a cold winter's day rose hips

brighten the view of the sea.

 

 

The red stop sign sure does catch one's eye!

First Day of January

Early morning, quiet and a glowing

 sunrise

 reflected in our car windows.

Sunset

cold, calm and peaceful.
