How I Really Spent My First Maine Winter

Hi. Barb here.

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you know Brenda Buchanan and I have been having a bit of a good-natured back and forth about the virtues of Maine in the winter time. She maintains it is bracing but beautiful. I maintain it is simply bracing.

But the truth of the matter is, I have run away. I was glad it snowed before we left in December because I would hate to miss the snow entirely. This year, I discovered the view of a snowstorm is quite breathtaking from our dining room table.

But after forty-plus years in New England, I know what it’s like to stay for the duration, which is why Bill and I are in Key West. I sincerely hope the snow is gone before we get home in early April. (Though I also know there’s no guarantee.)

Here are some of Bill’s Key West photos to keep everybody warm.
