We received about five inches of really wet snow last Saturday. It was freezing by the morning and the weight and hardness resulted in a broken wheelbarrow, a deformed metal picnic table on the back deck, and ice and snow covered decks and stairs. Uncharacteristically, we then had four or five days that never went above freezing, so all this Stuff hung around, to be periodically chipped at and cussed over.

There have been a few hunters (the end of deer season approaches) in the nearby woods but no others, such as snow machiniacs or ATVs. We have been able to take a few walks using crampons and Kayla has been able to play Stick in the backyard.

Into December

As we start December, we have a President de-elect and a President-elect, an international pandemic virus, and many squirrels looking for nuts (there are at least 73 million [“nuts,” that is] according to the latest Presidential election).

Speaking of nuts, our local forests have been rejuvenated by a couple major rainstorms which has resulted in full streams; these same waterways were bone dry during the summer.

We are hunkered down and minimizing contact with other humans. While Maine has been mostly under control, China-virus-wise, the superspread of pandemic stupidity is becoming more visible [It has been reported that some Maine hospital nurses are complaining about being required to get Flu shots – not CoVid Virus vaccine shots, basic Flu vaccine shots]. There are alot of nuts out there. Explains alot.
