Creating thankfulness

We celebrated Thanksgiving in CT with Heather's Maine cousin Liz and her family-- Then we drove north to Maine the next day, and spent a beautiful week in the state. Of course, tis the season for splitting wood. You saw that coming, didn't you? We're predictable. And we go through quite a bit of firewood. (Remind yourselves of previous years here and here ). Weather was clear and bright, and warm-ish. Sarah and Mark rounded out the crew and we got a LOT done. Monday we took a daytrip up to Rockland to visit the Farnsworth Museum. What a wonderful place! We enjoyed learning about 3 generations of Wyeth's (as well as many other talented artists), and viewing some early Christmas decor. Yes, that is a tree made of lobster pots, with a large lobster tree topper. It's midcoast Maine. What can I say.

Hardy January visitors

Who comes to Maine in January? Not many people, I assure you, but this January graced us with two fantastic houseguests and Maine delivered in every way for them. Cailyn flew north mid-month for her third solo getaway to Maine, and we had a blast. We spent Saturday on a Camden adventure, where we started as early birds at The Place bakery (IYKYK) . Although they're definitely a hometown local bakery, they were just written up in the NY Times, so the secret is out- glad we got our croissant cinnamon bun and maple pecan twist while they were available. On our newfound sugar high, we headed toward Rockland to discover a new lighthouse (see post about last year's visit to Rockland Breakwater here ). What a day to bundle up and trudge up the path to the Owls Head Lighthouse- we had the place to ourselves! It was stormy, brisk and beautiful. Just a week later, Maine welcomed our friend Lori who was a trooper, taking on several house tasks (car maintenance, testing smoke detectors...

Snowy... and Rainy Holidays

Earlier in December, we drove to Rockland to see the enormous lobster tree- what a project that must have been to put up! My favorite part is the lobster star tree topper. Several inches of snow on Christmas Eve made for a classic New England winter setting. The snow stuck to the trees (especially the evergreens) and was a beautiful backdrop for our time in Maine. We enjoyed a great holiday, filled with peace and quiet, winter hikes, time with family, and getting together with friends.
