When I started the giveaway and decided to draw a winner at the end of the month, I forgot that I was going to be away during that time because of the upcoming holiday. I will announce the winner upon my return which will be around the 6th of July. We have family here and [...]

Rattlesnakes & Outhouses…

It has been a rainy and cool spring here in Maine. We have had over 5″ of rain in our area from Friday through Monday with temperatures around 60° and the winds were blowing a gale. This is a strange weather system. Most of our weather patterns come from the north, the west or even [...]

Moosetique Giveaway

It’s been almost a year now since I started this blog. It’s been fun to share Maine (well, mostly Maine), my thoughts and travels with other folks. I thought that the perfect way to celebrate this anniversay is to give something away so taa…daa!! One lucky reader will win the “Moose Watcher’s Handbook” by Bill Silliker on June [...]

A Sunday Drive In Maine…

Click on any photo to enlarge. Yesterday we woke up to SUN!! Most of this week has been pretty wet and cloudy so the sun was very welcome. Thunder showers were predicted for the afternoon but hubby and I decided to take a drive to Greenville, Maine for lunch or an early dinner, depending on the [...]

Nature…not always pretty

On a recent trip to camp, we found the bones of a moose about fifty yards off the road. We will never know how it came to die but due to the proximity to the road, we can probably assume that it was hit by a vehicle. Logging trucks travel this road frequently and at [...]

Canadian Geese

We just returned from a great weekend at camp. The weather wasn’t wonderful but it wasn’t awful either. At this time of the year, activity is just beginning around the lake. The more hardy of us—or is it foolhardy?— head out just as soon as the ice is out and the roads open and others [...]

Fiddleheads

It’s spring in Maine and it is the time of year when folks thoughts turn to—fiddleheads!! What is a fiddlehead, you ask. As a native Pennsylvanian, it was a question that I asked when I first moved here. It’s hard to believe but that was over thirty years ago. A fiddlehead, I was told, is a [...]

Eagle Cam Follow-up…

This is a follow-up to the April 12th post about the nesting eagles. Two eaglets were hatched last week. Click HERE to go directly to the eagle cam but please be aware that they are having problems with both the live cam and the still cam that is supposed to update every fifteen seconds. They [...]
