Lucy

We said goodbye to our beloved Lucy on February 6. She was a member of the family since July 2005.

You were my first “dog love”! you came unexpectedly into our lives as a flea ridden, worm infested, filthy little thing! Dr. Sarah estimated are that you were 3-4 months old and so your birthday became April 1, 2005. You turned into such a beauty! Our Waldo County Girl!

You traveled across the USA and back twice, up and down both the east and west coastlines; camped, stayed in hotels, rode elevators – you took it all in your stride! We had picnics, hikes, runs on the beaches and through forests! You even took a dip an in alligator infested pond! People constantly asked us “what breed is that?” We had no answer – other than that she is a beauty and is a Waldo County Girl! whobehaves much like a border collie. We love you! You are my first dog and our first “together” dog. We’ll see you on the other side sweet girlie! Go find your brother Rocky! And your friend Ceilidh💔💔

Glorious Autumn…

Despite the lack of rain the garden is still a riot of color and we continue to harvest a variety of vegetables … and now the juicy, delicious pears are ready.

Cooking Indian

What better past time for a dreary, drizzly day than cooking an Indian feast? With Gunjan Gilbert as our teacher, Nan, Lisa, Jeff, and I prepared: samosas, naan bread, lamb keema, cucumber raita, aloo saag, chicken makhani, mint cilantro chutney and fragrant rice!

Winter 2017 recap

Winter will be over by the time we return, so had to post a few reminders of Winter 2017.

We enjoyed the serenity and beauty of Stevens Pond in early December.

Some very frigid days in December – unusually early for those temps.

The downtown area is always so festive looking with wreaths and lights strung across the streets.

The Annual Polar Dip downtown at the boat launch was relatively balmy – especially for one who didn’t touch the water!! Always fun to watch my crazy friends!
