A few snapshots about our life in Maine...
The Portland Head Light... "our" lighthouse

Across our North Meadow to our neighbor's barn
|
Each summer, the garden brings butterfiles,
birds and beauty to the backyard.
|
In the fall, the surrounding trees bring a richness of color before winter
|
Erik Pouncequick keeps watch over it all.
|
The backyard bring beauty the year round, but never more than summer
|

Every fall, our neighbors invite friends over to make fresh cider from their apple crop. The fall of 2007 was especially good and many gallons were pressed. |
While we don't have children or gandkids, we have goddaughters. Julia and Meg are the daughters of Monica and Paul, Doug's niece and her husband.
They live in Rhode Island and we visit at least twice a year.

Do you ever get moose in your meadow? We do!

Since the fall of 2005, I have worked as administrative assistant in
Computer Science Department of the University of Southern Maine.

We can get a lot of snow up here, but that brings its own beauty. Actually,
Maine is the second sunniest state on the Atlantic Coast. |
Got Snow?
|
Well, at least it's sunny!

My brother, Randel, has lived with us since 1995. He adapted well to the
move from Texas to Maine. He soon went to work in a beautiful greenhouse
in Portland. He enjoys his colleagues and his life.
Last year, some of his art work was entered in a state-wide competition
and two of his pencil drawing went on exhibition around the state.
Each summer Randel goees to summer camp for two weeks. Here he is
at Camp Allen in New Hampshire.

Summer evenings are a perfect time for picnics at Kettle Cove
