Campground Life

They’ve started…the November rains.  Four days of intermittent drizzle, fog and at least for now, warm temperatures.  Just enough warmth to push some of our daffodil bulbs to sprout I’m sad to report…but warm enough for me to keep working in the Rec Hall on a rather large weaving I started in September. J.J. (the…

“L’esprit s’enrichit de ce qu’il recoit, Le coeur de ce qu’il donne. Roughly translated these wise words say: The soul grows from what it receives, The heart from what it gives. I read this quote while I was drinking my coffee and decided to act upon the wisdom by offering a few random acts of…

In the warm sunshine (read barely 50 but hey, it’s November).  Steven got the last of his garlic in the ground and I got all of the rosebushes trimmed back to 12 inches, mulched with leaves and pine needles and finally sprinkled with a slow release fertilizer that will feed them when they wake up…

When we shut down for the season, all of the waterlines are emptied of water and then filled with non-toxic anti-freeze to prevent breaks and splits in the lines.  It’s a system that works better than any other we’ve tried and with time we’ve worked the kinks out.  We can isolate specific waterlines and close…

Lisa wrote yesterday and asked what our gold sites looked like…they’re hoping to come in July and bring their motorcycle to explore some of the fingers that extend into pretty little coves along the Gulf of Maine.  If you’d like to see more of these coves, send me an e-mail and I’ll hunt some of…

On Sunday we had our first big storm of the November rains.  One of our rentals lost an awning (the arms somehow came loose and the awning fabric was shredded before the wind stopped blowing) and the boardwalk was strewn with seaweed…more drama than damage so all is OK in our little world on Penobscot…

I’ve been working everyday here in the office…but mostly with my wool, dyes and other toys.  As is so often the case, luck brought a lovely woman down our driveway and before long we were enjoying a rolling conversation.  In this phase of her life, she is a photographer specializing in photographs of skilled hands…the…

Another spectacular day in paradise!  The problem with these beautiful, cool days is the feeling of frenzy they push into my heart because there promise of winter is lingering just over head and I still have a million things I want to do in the sunshine…a motivator of sorts I suppose!  I’m slowly working off…

Talk about finishing the summer with a bang!  Saturday we hosted a wedding party for 60 with huge lobsterbake dinner, bonfire on the beach and tailgate games around every corner.  The weather was perfect and we all had so much fun…I didn’t realize I was tired until that night when I poured a glass of…

I walked around with my camera and snapped these pictures for you on Wednesday…all of them are taken here in the park.
