We put a wood-burning fireplace insert into the fireplace in the front hall.  It does wonders to keep the place warm. And, it is pretty.

No big news but we have had some snow. Pretty. Above you see some otter slides--they had a good time sliding into the ocean looks like. I only saw the tracks in the snow. Alas, no otters. (Click on picture to make it bigger. Click BACK on your browser to return to this page.)

The Wave

A wave at a local cove on Schoodic Point. Molly and I walk there most every day.

Pumpkin carving time again. We had an "observer" who found herself immortalized...temporarily. Molly posed for the pumpkin on the left...she was all i could see, so it seemed logical to carve her. The one on the right is Bill's creation.

And, the Herons are coming through our park. We seem to be on a Great Blue Heron migration path.  Usually at least one or two of them stay.  They are lovely to see. Very large--stand almost 5' tall--but very elusive.  I watch for them all Summer. This was the other morning when it was quiet. Let's hope a few of them liked what they saw and will stick around.  But best of all, they don't come until the ice is out. Yeah!

Lots of other quick changes, some of which will create broken links on the older pages, but I'll clean them up later.

Finally changed the link under Rachel's name to go to her own website: www.phoenixzoellick.com

If you haven't been there is it definitely worth a look!

That's Hanni and her husband Gerhardt at the top of the page, at Hanni's birthday party in Venice, February 29, 2008.

Chris and I are back from that party and also trips to Florence, Pompeii, Vesuvius, Rome and Ravenna. My photo file counter tells me that I have 4,948 new pictures on my machine! So, when I get a chance to put some up I will. Or, I might do a photo blog....stay tuned.

Chris and I are off for a two week vacation in Italy. We start in Venice where we will celebrate Hanni's Birthday. (pictured above and at Cvak on Friends page). For those of you who were not around when I was in college, Hanni Ottisch Cvak was an Exchange Student at our house when she was in high school and I was in College. She lives in Vienna, but decided to have her birthday in Venice. So, we are off. No computers iwth us, though. so you will have to wait til after March 11 to see updates.

New recipe. Ricker Family Farms Fresh Cranberry Sauce. Rachel, a staunch supporter of the canned with ridges variety, says she is switching to this. It gels up and is lovely.
