Six More Weeks

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so it looks like we've got about six more weeks of winter.  Here in Maine, that usually means we're looking at mid-March for the unofficial end of winter, and ice-out sometime in early April.  For me, that's about two months until I can get the boat back in the water and start guiding open water fishing trips – I can't wait!

Bluebirds at the Front Door!

14 degrees is the high temperature for the day with a stiff breeze. Nice and sunny today after a fresh coating of snow yesterday. For the record there is about a foot of good solid ice on the ponds in the area. I know that many of you are not winter fans but you have to admit that a flock of bluebirds in the yard on a snowy background is a huge bonus. Argy was the first to notice them this morning eating the berries from a wreath we were given by a friend. I love that they are so close and not afraid through the glass storm door. Enjoy!
