About Me
- smilla4blogs
- Thoughts and images of Maine and beyond. I have lived in Iran, Bahrain, Hong Kong and England and I loved all of those places, but for me, Maine has been a constant... I feel most at home on this rocky shore and I became a full time resident in 1993. Winter's bitter cold and dark days were an adjustment, but I now view this season as a time of peace and creativity. This is primarily a photo blog of the things I love... the back roads, small towns, gorgeous shoreline and blissful days spent on the water, with a bit of every day minutiae thrown in just for fun. It is meant to be a companion to Flickr, a global community of photographers and a place where over nine thousand of my photos have found a home. Here, I want to combine my photo stream with a narrative for a more interactive experience and to give some additional information on the images. I hope you will take a moment to visit. All photos are my own, unless otherwise noted.

Oh, believe me, it's Spring down here. There's a thick layer of yellow pollen on everything and has been for a week or two. It's the time of year ideal for opening the windows but to do so allows the pollen to coat the inside of the house as well.
ReplyDeleteBlue ~ It snowed in many parts of Maine this morning...of course it didn't last long and melted as quick as a blink. We will have the thick layer of yellow pollen, you describe, in June. Dreadful for allergies and worse for upholstery...and the latter bothers me the most!
ReplyDeleteI know the late snow syndrome. This year it snowed on the first day of spring, and it was all rather depressing. But today, while colder than it has been for a few days, the redbuds still hold sway and the Mohawk viburnams are gloriously scented. Yet, still, one of the first pieces of garden wisdom I learned after moving from very southern Oklahoma: Up here, we don't dare plant tomatoes until Mother's Day. Ughhhhh but so sadly true. And what about the New England School of Hypnotherapy?
ReplyDeleteHome Before Dark ~ I do love the way the redbuds appear the float along country roads, we don't have them in Maine, but it was a joy to see them on our recent trip south. Forsythia is in bloom, but not much else...and the air is raw. June is when everything pops, and all at once! The profusion of color is extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteThe New England School of Hypnotherapy is located on coastal Rt.1 near Belfast, Maine. Not surprisingly, I could find no information online whatsoever!
I used to do PR for a community mental health center and the cartoons used to mount up for various "issues." I personally liked the one that had a line of people outside a psychic convention with a sign that read: think of a number and get in line.
ReplyDeletehome before dark ~ Wonderful! I expect everybody was first!
