Most people head south for a break in the winter, and that is perfectly understandable. We too like to feel warm again at some point during the long cold winters in the northeast. On the other hand, when you have a chance to visit Maine in the winter, it’s a wonderful beautiful place. I’ll try to insert a few photos but you can’t really appreciate it unless you are up here. It’s quiet (yes, very quiet), clear and cold. Outdoor activities are hiking and snowshoeing….unless you are up for driving to Sunday River to ski (see my earlier post on skiing). I couldn’t imagine being here without the dogs either. They run and jump and fly through the woods, chasing real and imaginary enemies and prey….relishing the ‘no leash’ environment we have, on 30 acres of woodlands.
We have 3 dogs – all rescues and all just full of love for life and for hanging out with us. Aren’t dogs great? After a hike in the cold, it’s time for a cuppa tea or hot chocolate. If we wait long enough it will be time for a nice glass of red.
Winter can be nice. (maybe next week we will go find a warm place).
