Here at ‘The Farmstead’ in Central Maine, the when leaves have fallen and we’re feeling a little blue, we awake to morning magic—a landscape transformed with fresh fallen snow. Our first season’s adornment arrived last week—a mere inch and a half of that lovely white lace. Blessed by late autumn’s makeover. ~ Bette A. Stevens, Maine author/illustrator

Nice. I know of what you speak. I lived in New Brunswick for 3 bitter winters. We are also having a mild winter here. El Nino they say.
So I figure somebody must be getting clobbered.

Glad it’s not us (yet) this year. El Nino is acting like a well-behaved kid in New England so far this year. Yay! 🙂

Thank you, JC. Believe it or not, I think we’re in for a warm (by our New England standards) Christmas this year. We’re usually knee keep in the white stuff by now, but the ground is still warm and weather predictions are 40s for the upcoming week. Not complaining after two winters of way too much of a good thing (snow). Wishing you a wonderful Christmas too! 🙂

Loved the poem—-you are so good at these and the picture is charming. I agree that a little snow is lovely but can do without 2 feet of it. We had thick fog to drive through yesterday. That’s the worst.

Thank you for your lovely and poetic compliment, Annika. After our first snowfall we’re now enjoying a warm, but wet week here in Central Main (unusal, yet welcomed). More of those delicate flakes are sure to appear as magically as the first any day. Enjoy your December! ❤
