It’s made a huge difference, cutting our pricy fuel oil usage roughly in half.

Campobello Island, New Brunswick, viewed from Eastport, Maine.

It’s that foot-tall wall of compressed flakes at the end of the driveway that concerns me. The stuff the city’s snowplows leave us in clearing our streets.
Not that I don’t appreciate having cleared pavement once I get out.

It’s how we buy them in season down at the dock.
They freeze perfectly, too, with none of the added liquid you get at the store.


This time of the year gets her creative juices flowing. Not that she’s alone on that front.

I do find her enhanced natural style quite comforting.
Even during our briefest of light daytime.


We’re bracing ourselves, of course. Weather like this can be accompanied by electrical power outages.

Around here, this can happen well into spring.

The pond’s still frozen.
