I hope that this issue of the newsletter finds you reflecting on another good year and looking forward to celebrations with friends and family. To lighten your mood even further click here to see that not only can old guides dance they look pretty good in a green elf suit. We are at the winter solstice, where you live that fact may not impact your day very much but here in mid coast Maine the daylight hours are just over six and a half hours shorter than the longest day in June, a noticeable difference.

This morning there can be no doubt that winter is here. I woke up at 5 a.m. with only a little snow on the ground but it is snowing steadily now. By the time Argy and I went for a walk there were three or 4 inches on the ground and by late morning there is every bit of 6 inches.

This morning is cold and windy. A strong breeze out of the southeast is blowing a chilly rain sideways and the sky is dark. This is one of the days that makes November seem like such a dark month. A flock of turkeys is feeding along the edge of the field across the street. There are almost 30 of them and they sure do look wet!
