THROUGH MY WINDOWS

Well, hello there! So nice of you to stop by! I have just returned from several wonderful  weeks in Maine. Many of you already know that I visit there as often as I can in the good weather months to spend time with my parents who still live in their own home on a small island  called Little Deer Isle. We like to think that our little slice of the Maine coast is unique with  several islands connected together by causeways or small bridges which are then connected to the mainland at Sedgwick by an expansion bridge. That bridge shows up in a lot of my pictures because it spans across the Eggemoggin Reach, the stretch of water between the islands and the mainland. In the Summer months it is a busy highway for sailboats especially,  both large and small,  that use the Penobscot Bay. I was fortunate to be crossing the causeway Causeway between Little Deer Isle and North Deer Isle heading to Deer Isle when I spotted a really nice schooner making it's way down the Reac

  Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope that all is well with you and yours. Here at Deer Run ( aka our little slice of paradise) we are plugging away. Roger (hubby) and Mark (my son) are working 14 hour days trying to keep all their swimming pool customers happy.   I am left fancy free to do as I please. Sounds great BUT I have been feeling very poorly since my bout of food poisoning in Maine. Finally I dragged myself to the doctor and moaned and groaned pitifully. He sent me for blood work. Then, I awoke one morning with my head spinning out of control. Roger, Roger, help! Back to the doc we went. (Me grasping a pink bucket-just in case you know.) It was determined that I had inner ear infections in both ears. Antibiotics prescribed in large but pretty yellow capsules. That was last week. I am definitely on the mend. Unbelievably, my daughter, Judi, was taken to the hospital by ambulance the same day I woke up in orbit. Pneumonia. She is also on the mend, came home o

Hi there dear friends! It's May, almost June, and we are just so green and pretty here. So different from when I was in Maine a week or so ago. Not much green there then.  Maybe now though. We have had lots of rain lately. Warm temps, then humid temps, then cool temps. Despite all this everything is thriving here at Deer Run. Speaking of Deer, we have a doe and her baby, just born by the looks, no spots yet. I have been trying to capture them on camera but our big dog barks, even when left in the house and they go running. One of these days I will have the element of surprise on my side with the dog closed in the house with the blinds drawn so she can't see what I am up to. In the meantime, look what is so refreshingly lovely to look at around here.... My peonies are just getting ready to open. I so love this color and must try and find some yarn to match for a future hooky project. The white flowers are from a tree in back of our garage and I have no id

I SO APPRECIATE YOU! Hello my friends! It's month 3 since I started this blog. If you were with me from the beginning you will probably remember that I was very green at blogging and had some frustrating blogger experiences that I ranted on and on about in one of my earlier posts. But I do feel that I have learned and matured through perseverance and am a much more comfortable blogger now. I do enjoy sharing with you and hope that you will consider becoming a follower by tapping the g+ button on the right of my blog, just under my name. I am so thrilled that even though I am obscure I have had over 600 visitors so far! Thank you, kind readers! I hope that you keep on visiting.

As you can see, not much green yet except for the evergreens. As I mentioned in an earlie
