We’re still waking to single digits (F) and it didn’t get above freezing today. I’m missing an English spring although my claim is it lasts all year there. I love the scenery here and enjoy the change of season. I’m sort of ready for the season to change already. My son would have winter last even longer. <BR/><BR/>Alyson, thank you! I do try to work on composition, but it makes my hands freeze in winter. I’m with you on enough lovely winter.

It's quite mild here in London now and the thought of our March turning into your March is not very appealing. Yet, I could not take my eyes off the scenery, it's absolutely beautiful! Your son must have quite a lot of stamina, what with cross-country skiing and all that jazz! Many thanks for another fantastic post with wonderful images.<BR/><BR/>Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-55785295682969848592009-03-13T10:08:00.000-04:002009-03-13T10:08:00.000-04:00I think I envy you - I think I do.I think I envy you - I think I do.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-73989132076009805652009-03-12T15:32:00.000-04:002009-03-12T15:32:00.000-04:00ME, the open trails policy is new.

The other good public spot that is groomed occasionally is Crystal Spring Farm. <BR/><BR/>W2W, I agree. <BR/><BR/>Ms. Wis, it was single digit here last night too, but now it’s above freezing again. We’re getting there. <BR/><BR/>Curmudgeon, it’s been a few years, but I think you maybe right about the breed. The dogs were bred in Europe. Paco is one of the highest decorated dogs in the navy. He even has a combat action ribbon and served in Iraq. <BR/><BR/>JAPRA, we hire someone to plow our driveway. The town has a mini-plow for the sidewalks. We abandon the front door entirely so we only have to shovel the back walk between the driveway and mudroom. It’s still hard work, especially with heavy wet snow in spring. My teenaged son usually does most of it on snow days, but yesterday I had to do it myself. Ouch!<BR/><BR/>Rose, it’s worth it for the skiing. The base closure is going to have a huge impact, but hopefully we will survive the transition. It helps that Brunswick has a college and two hospitals and is in commuting distance to Augusta (the state capital) and Portland (biggest city.) I’m hoping for more conservation and recreational land.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-70128868999360156712009-03-12T13:53:00.000-04:002009-03-12T13:53:00.000-04:00I don't envy you all that snow, Sarah, but what a ...I don't envy you all that snow, Sarah, but what a beautiful place to ski! <BR/><BR/>A nearby town to us was home to an Air Force Base for many years. When the base was closed about 15-20 years ago, it had a huge impact on the economy and make-up of the town. I hope that the closing of your naval base doesn't have any negative effects for the community; having the land for public recreation use or a nature preserve would be ideal.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-75022736642570293292009-03-12T10:08:00.000-04:002009-03-12T10:08:00.000-04:00Wow--look at that snow in the first pic!
