In Maine, winter hasn’t really ended until the skiers fade, and the daffodils explode. Looks like we’re just about there.

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
The peak of the fall foliage is fading, but we loved every single moment. For some reason, perhaps the wet summer, the spectacle was a bit less stunning this year — a bit more brown, a bit less color.
Fall leaves, sea breeze.

(Raw video. A bit fuzzy, still getting used to a new camera. —- Actually it might be Vimeo. It’s fine on original server . . . . Hmm . . . . Checking . . . . Trying YouTube . . . . Not better . . . . More fiddling . . . . Uh Oh . . . .)
Not a whimper.

Leaves get raucous before the raking begins.
And the last of the garden is, or has been, harvested.
So ends the growing season in Maine.
Berry pretty.

It’s hard to compete with the spectacular colors on the trees this time of year, but the bittersweet vine is fearless. And triumphant.
You’ll find it growing wild in woodland settings all over Maine. As well as decorating shops and homes.
It appears that the two varieties are hard to tell apart, except that the Oriental Bittersweet is thought to be ‘invasive,’ and the ‘native’ American Bittersweet is thought to be more timid.
Either one can steal the show.
Hot tomatoes.

We’ve been waiting much longer than usual for the tomatoes to ripen due to our soggy July!

First daffodils.
Saturday, April 18th, 2009
These fluffy daffodils are very common in Maine.
It’s amazing that just a few weeks ago, we were living in an entirely different place, wearing different clothes, doing different things. Having four seasons is like moving every few months.

Another yellow house update.
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Wow. This is going to be spectacular. Check out the addition with those fabulous windows! It looks like they’re looking at color schemes, and yellow is in the mix. Cellardoor is certainly going to make it’s mark. And it’s also time to investigate the talented Phi Builders. Previous posts — here and here.
