7. Oh my yes. Maine is gorgeous!

I should learn how to post photos here. The last snowfall was pure fairy land. I have a forested hill right behind my house, a 350 acre park right here in town. It bisects the sky and blocks the sunsets, but is quite beautiful on its own. The Kennebec River is a short walk in the other direction. I am an hour from the Atlantic coast and an hour from the western mountains and am surrounded by lakes, waterfalls and good hikes in all directions.

A friend from Nebraska finds Maine’s hilly landscape somewhat claustrophobic. She gets her big sky refreshment at our beautiful, expansive sandy beaches. I do that too, and also spend time in the mountains.

I love Maine.

Happy No Kings Day.
