The long blue shadows of trees draped over freshly fallen snow.
Another round of snow overnight, about 5 inches I'd say. I've lost count of the number of measurable snowfall events this season, and another one looking likely tomorrow night.

A windowsill with evergreen garland and two candles, a large paper snowflake hangs above them. Out of the window is a snowy scene, fir trees covered in white and untouched drifts of snow.
Merry Christmas everyone ❄️

Tabby cat named Potato, sprawled across a green quilt covered bed. He looks at the camera curiously.

Early morning sunrise over a frozen lake. The sun peeks through bare branches and throws long shadows onto the snow.
The first significant snow of the season here in midcoast Maine. Looks to be around 8 inches.
Vertical photo taken under a canopy of trees, all with leaves in shades of orange, yellow and green. They're bathed in late afternoon light. Taken in midcoast Maine.

Line of treetops in shadow underneath a blindingly blue sky. Lines of white lambswool clouds drape like a blanket.
Beautiful Maine sky this evening....but chilly tonight, in the upper 40s!
No doubt these cases are a big WIN for the health insurance corps, these people paid in dearly and left without benefitting much at all. Why do they make it so hard to exist in these Unites States?
I'll answer my own question - greed.
Photo of a riverbank with glassy water, an extremely blue sky and wildflowers lining the waters edge.
Lazy river, quiet summer.

Spring in Maine!
Just washed chicken eggs in shades of brown, tan, chocolate and light blue
The girls are really ramping up now! Yesterday they laid 25 eggs!
Golden brown Dutch baby coming out of the oven
This is a Dutch baby - the very best weekend breakfast! Eggs, flour, nutmeg, sugar, butter, milk... Put it in the oven in a cast iron pan and watch it turn into this thing! Then add fresh fruit and a little powdered sugar on top.
Since living in New England, I've had to learn what frost heave means, and why it matters!
We went to the SPCA last week and picked up a 3 year old tabby. Great dude, very friendly & very nice clothes! We named him Tater but someone said it wasn't very dignified so sometimes we call him Potatomus Fuzzington III, Esq. Or Potatomous Prime. Occasionally he's referred to as our 'Spuddy' 😂
Love your werk 💯
Guess it's time to shovel the back porch, huh? 😂 #snowchores #NewEnglandWinter
Sunset over an inlet, bright orange clouds and setting yellow sun at the horizon topped with a lead grey cloud shelf overhead.
Mood: feels like the end of the world #sunset
They should agree to be re-hired at twice their current salary. It's what any good capitalist with leverage would do 😂
Late afternoon #icicles
Time for the weekly trip to the food bank, today it's 4 dozen eggs. Girls started back up laying about a month ago and so far we've donated 24 dozen in 2025. #donatedfood #tastyeggs #LiberalHens
