In Maine And 365

To our great surprise spring had sprung to Maine while we were gone:) Apple trees are finally blossoming.




On our first night in Maine I walked to the water (really, no more ice!), and to both of our great surprise I saw a beaver, and the beaver saw me! We've seen the evidence of beavers in our waterfront, but don't often spot them in the water.




First morning in Maine...




And our first moose sighting on our way to the post office! (Of course the camera was at home.. This is the best I could do with my phone.) We also saw wild turkeys, and Mr. T spotted a porcupine.




While we were gone we had the rest of the countertops installed in the kitchen, some painting, staining and electrical work done, and the yard is being worked on. Not only is it muddy outside, the inside was coated with a fine layer of construction dust... So since we arrived, we've been hard at work. So much so that I was given the note above. To her great disappointment work continued today (and still will all week long)... Mama clearly didn't get the meaning of her little love note! (Haha!!)

I am attempting to take a photo, edit it and post it every day this year. I just started on June first. Some of them probably will show up here on the blog (like three of these), but not every one. I'm hoping to grow in photography, and also to tell a story of our year. I might make a blog for the photos, but at this point I'm posting them in SmugMug. Feel free to bookmark the link.

Kahden päivän aikana täällä Mainessä olemme jo nähneet hirven, majavan, villikalkkunan ja piikkisian. Omenapuut kukkivat, ja ulkona on edelleen mutaista, ja sisällä pölyistä. Poissaolomme aikana oli tapahtunut niin remonttia sisällä kuin pihatöitä ulkona. Olemme saaneet olla oikein superahkeria paluun jälkeen (jee). Ja vaikka Pikkuneidin lappunen muuta toivookin, niin työt jatkuvat vielä huomennakin (ja loppuviikon, heh heh):)
