Rain

It’s raining today. It would be wonderful if the rain washed all the snow away. I know… I’m dreaming.

When Darkness Falls

003

When darkness falls
And the night is still,
I think of the lonely Whippoorwill
Who calls his name out
To the night
Like longing plea to end his plight.
Yet, who’s to say his cry be right
For he alone does know his cry,
What voice he speak
I only can try,
To listen deeply in the still
To know what be the Mighty will.
And yet I long to hear
His mournful plea,
To answer yet the plea
Of mine own heart
When darkness falls
And the night is still
I think of the lonely Whippoorwill.

Oh Deer

Among the many reasons I moved to Eastport, Maine after living in Los Angeles for nearly 19 years, was the longing to be in a more rural environment. I tired of the big city, with the traffic and the noise.

A few days ago while on my way home from the grocery store, there were about 8 deer feeding on the side of the road. After sitting in the car with my daughter, Juliet, for a while watching them, I decided to drive home to get my camera. By the time we got back the deer were on the move, scared off by a big rig passing by and a woman walking a dog.

We drove around for a bit, took a few photos of the sky, which is always colorful here and low and behold the deer returned and started making their way across the street:

Winter Sky

After posting earlier today about muddling through my first Eastport, Maine winter I decided I needed to get out and take a little walk to catch a glimpse of the water before the sunset.

Camera in hand, I took a few photos:

Winter In Eastport

I’m muddling through my first winter here in Eastport, Maine. There are days I think I am adapting well to the cold after living in Los Angeles for nearly 19 years and then days when I am downright tired of winter. Yep… It can be a drain. We’ve had quite a bit of snow and a lot of drifting in the past 24 hours or so. Beautiful but a lot of work to shovel.

Thankfully I need only to take a short walk or hop in the car and take a drive around town to remind myself why I am here.

Spring in all it’s glory will be welcomed when it arrives!

Pandora’s Box

A few weeks ago we got a new kitten, Pandora, to keep our cat Zeus company, since he’s not going out here in Eastport (being a Cali born cat, Zeus thinks it too cold).

She’s a load of fun: pandorasbox
