Details



Winter is receding, or so it seems anyway. I haven't taken enough picture of the ice which is so beautiful and hands down my favorite thing about winter in Maine.





I'm not very politically oriented, but I get chills when I hear Obama speak. I wasn't in a tsunami state, and I haven't even registered in Maine yet. It is interesting to me how oratory skills, which have long been a cornerstone of candidacy, still are important in this day and age... Though there is always George Bush to counteract that theory. Anyway, with no tv, I spend a great part of each day listening to NPR and I'm sadly addicted to this political process. I find the engagement of the population reassuring and exciting and hopeful.
