It was the 4th July few days ago. They say it is a big day in the US! I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but the current situation made this day rather normal for me – COVID19, remote working, no friends or family around with whom celebrate, no parade allowed this year,Continue reading “Foggy Fourth”

It was Father’s day
Yeah!!! It was father’s day last Sunday. So black flies must have gone, if we believe the Maine’s say. I discovered a secret path yesterday and decided to follow it. I expected maybe to meet up with Maine’s Troll or other dwelling being… I got such a strange feeling sometimes when discussing with squirrel orContinue reading “It was Father’s day”
Little wonders
It has been about 10 years that I didn’t feel spring. I was living on the Equator where there is little changes all along the year: seasons are very similar, even though native people would say that there is a raining and a dry season…. But flowers bloom 2-3 times per year, trees loose theirContinue reading “Little wonders”
Day 75 – Simuliidae
Pine grosbeak pink bird, ducks, red fox, white-tailed dears, eastern chipmunk, red squirrels, grey squirrels, wild turkeys, coon cat, owls, pileated woodpeakers, seagulls, eagles and now hummingbirds are the few wild encounters of my run and hikes during these long days of quarantaine. But 2 weeks ago I met the most horrible creature ever: theContinue reading “Day 75 – Simuliidae”
Day 65 – out of hibernation
Not only us, human being, are coming out of our (COVID19) hibernation. There is a video often shared in the local Public Radio and Television programs these days, about a bear, a black bear, making a mess in the gardens nearby… which are about 5 km from my home!!! They say these bears are ratherContinue reading “Day 65 – out of hibernation”
Day 53 – Lost season
Spring wants to arrive, we feel it. But winter has still few tears to let go. And not only rainy storm. It was snowing yesterday, all day. Windy, snowing, refreshing but slapping, well, like in winter. But we are in May…. It is desperate!
Duck story
It was as if Nature was relieved from yesterday’s anger. The storm was huge and strong, I could hear the trees bending, blowing and dancing in the wind, and the rain striking on the window nets in the green house. The beginning of the night was scary, but I was fortunate enough to have heatContinue reading “Duck story”
Apprivoisement*
Today I listened to the nature around me. I mean, it is the first time that I could sit outside on the terrace for more than 5 min without freezing! It was 7 degrees Celsius but a bright and warm sun that warmed so much that I took out for the first time the outdoorContinue reading “Apprivoisement*”
Day 4
It’s been four days that I had no direct contact with anybody. And no direct conversation other than teleconference or Skype. It is just strange…. I will need to make a tour at the supermarket soon and I am actually looking forward to it. The weather was extremely nice. The light was bright, the sunContinue reading “Day 4”
Spring ?
The weather is rather warm these days oscillating between -3 and +8 degrees Celcius. We also just change the time in our time zone, and it feels like we are more in harmony with our environment. Ideal for social distancing! And as a matter of fact, it seems like Mother Nature feels like it isContinue reading “Spring ?”
