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!

Catching Up

It's been a hot humid summer here in southern Maine.

This weather slows me down!

The gardens are flourishing though they could use

some rain.

There's a chance of a thunderstorm

later today.

 D planted peas last month that the

baby woodchucks immediately ate.

D thought that was the end of the peas

 and was quite upset.

What a surprise to see them flourishing.

Well, by eating the tops the woodchucks had

actually made them bush out.

Unfortunately there are 3 different

varieties that have all tangled.

It is difficult to pick them and 

figure out what they are!

A learning experience! 

 

 

The leek flowers are very beautiful!

We try to walk in the evening when it is cooler.

There have been some unusual sunsets!

Hope you are having a good summer and the

weather isn't too oppressive.

In My Pockets

We took a very invigorating walk late this
afternoon on the beach...I had two scarves wrapped
around my neck! I can't help but collect sea treasures
whenever I walk and today was no exception.
When I got home I emptied my pockets and
here are my gems!
