Evening walk. I thought I could climb again on top on that mountain. As I arrived at the beginning of the trail the snow was quite high and crusty, the sun was getting down, and the temperature was already very cold and decreasing… Walking was difficult, even helped by the prints of two pairs ofContinue reading “Frozen lake”

After the storm
There was a big storm yesterday. It was like a dance in 4 acts: first the snow was falling slowly, but surely, accumulating in a soft white powder and shaping a creamy landscape in the garden. As the day went by and the night fall, the wind entered into the dance beginning with a slowContinue reading “After the storm”
Guten Rutsch! *
Happy 2021! How strange: it must have been the most expected new year, yet the least celebrated. Restaurant closed, lockdowns and social distancing have been killing the joyfulness and fun of this festive season. Meanwhile, we, 3 humans and a cat, try to find our rhythm in Maine. Still missing our dad and husband inContinue reading “Guten Rutsch! *”
A long story short
In short, the house is alive. Two teens and a cat have moved in Maine with me 10 days before 2021. I was busy enjoying each of the next minutes with them, but have already tons of pictures to share here soon. I hope they will adapt well the new environment. For now everything isContinue reading “A long story short”
Holiday season
I ate too much Turkey for my first American traditional Thanksgiving, it was good! and so this weekend is quieter. It is also stormy tonight. The fire place is working well, I prepared the candles and emergency lights in case I loose power, and I am eating the rest of the turkey-soup. A cosy evening,Continue reading “Holiday season”
Guardians
I begin to develop a very special relationship with those guardians. They are stoically defending the trails, protecting the paths and showing the way. If you pay attention they will reveal their identity: some are shy, others dominant and proud, while most are just part of it. I can feel wise individuals, some adopting aContinue reading “Guardians”
Anniversary
This post is the 147th one. It has been exactly one year that I begun this blog – Nov 17, 2019. I can’t believe I am so able to write down my thoughts regularly, and the most surprising is that I am able to post them! We are all writing posts, letters, complains and thank-youContinue reading “Anniversary”
Reconnected
Reconnected to nature. I saw deers, birds – coming back from the cold – I heard owls, squirrels, and other little rodents, and I even had to stop to let go a group of turkeys… Thanksgiving is arriving. Halloween already passed, and Christmas almost there… time flies! And this year the house will also beContinue reading “Reconnected”
Champagne!
Do you remember this feeling of warm air coming in your face when spring arrives? This warmth that suddenly reaches the depth of your body and regenerates your soul? I promise I was sober this morning, I didn’t hallucinate : it came 3 times during my walk. Aren’t we supposed to get snow at thatContinue reading “Champagne!”
Expedition
It snowed last week. Then it became ice. But I needed to walk outside, to hike. So I went out, with my special spiky shoes, climbing the peak, slowly but surely…. I could hear the “crisp” of the layer of ice when I walked, the “shush” of the snow below the ice, and the “fffffuff”Continue reading “Expedition”
