Maine Fall foliage-come visit Maine
The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) employees have been reporting foliage color changing conditions since 1959. To produce the weekly report on fall foliage conditions, DACF forest rangers submit on-the-ground observations each week throughout the reporting season (September 9 through October 25). Maine’s official fall foliage website: www.mainefoliage.com has a number of resources, links to scenic byways and to the Maine office of tourism. The site includes a map indicating current foliage conditions with a useful foliage color key that is updated weekly. Visitors to the site can also find information on Facebook.
Generally, the northern region of Maine is at or near peak the last week of September into the first week of October. Central, Southern and Western mountains are nearing peak conditions October 6 through October 18. Coastal Maine reaches peak conditions October 13 through 25.

Maine, March 1,More snow tonight and MORE on Tuesday. This has to end sometime right:? HUGE plies of snow being dumped in our parking lot so it seems that kids may like to bring snowboards and toboggans for summer fun in the snow in the parking lot!
Stay tuned for more"spring" weather,

Maine, some fun in the sun, Feb.22
One leap and bound, on top of a snow bank.
At least Basil thinks this is fun! One leap down,
six feet! His people parents do NOT think this
is fun.

On the Left, path to the back gate, our back steps, deck, and Paul after shoveling. Summer will come! Yup, same deck in summer.

A new discovery shows just how special is the Maine ground we walk on!

Researchers seeking an antibiotic to defuse the global threat of drug-resistant infections may have found the game-changer in soil from a 'grassy field,' creating a buzz in the scientific media.

It may be November, and the ocean is now 51 degrees, but our resident dogs and horses all headed to the beach for a Sunday afternoon outing. No need for beach umbrellas, but lovely anyway

MAY 10....Hot and humid, my dogs are panting and it is 10:45 PM. All windows open and still too warm!. Wow, is winter finally over?
Need a cool sea breeze. This is a taste of summer to come.
Love Drakes Island and all that the Northeast weather has to offer.
Smelling the ocean and seeing the beach roses all budded, life can't be any better.
