The fall has come and gone. Winter arrived early with snow storms and cold weather. We have been kept busy this fall dealing with health issues, and getting ready for winter. This winter we are not going to Florida, so the blog will record an Aroostook winter. The firewood is stored in the cellar, and winter is well underway.
Thanksgiving was not a celebration this year as we were ill with colds, and did not cook and celebrate. However, Bob, Gina, and the kids came to visit for a few days before Thanksgiving. We spent some time with grandchildren, but will not show pictures of Meghan having her hair done. Instead we have Jess, Alex, and Bridget just having a good time:
Bob made a brief visit to the camp and the lake, where winter ice was already visible.
We have had several snow storms already, and Gary is steadily shoveling snow.
This morning we went over snow-covered roads to Caribou to go swimming. The sun was shining and it looked like a lovely day. Before we came home a snow squall set in that lasted long enough to add more snow to the accumulation, and reduce visibility to nearly zero. Then the wind started to blow harder.
Here you can see the snow storm approaching.
Another picture with Caribou Lake and the gazebo in front of it.
Here we have a view of the Caribou Lake Road in its usual winter condition.
One lonely birch tree standing in the wind and snow.
The most comfortable place in the house is right by the fireplace. Louise has piles of yarn in partly-completed projects waiting to become Christmas gifts. In fact there are three more sweaters made, but they are Christmas gifts so the photos will come after Christmas. Stay tuned to the story of an Aroostook winter.
