    There are sure a lot worse things we could crave while pregnant, eh?

    No sign of spring or gardens or flowers yet.... but at least there was this, this evening shortly after we got home from town. February's full moon (here called Namebini-giizis, the Sucker-Fish Moon) rising over Kichi-Gamiing (Lake Superior). The ice on the lake is covered with snow reflecting the setting sun. How I love this place.

    How beautiful! That view is so peaceful! Matt and I did get to watch the moon rise out of the trees this evening. It was beautiful! On the way home this afternoon, everything was shades of white and gray, blurred by the snow coming down. It was all of 20°F, and the sea birds were still floating in the water, with ice chunks floating nearby.

    Thanks, Aimee. You must live in a beautiful dream world too. You're on an island, right? Do you have a causeway to drive over, or is access by ferry?

    You're very welcome! Yes, I do. We just have a bridge to cross over. It's a beautiful sunny day, so the water should be blue today with the bright white of the new snow.

    Best part of winter! Heh, was telling my youngest daughter about how much snow we've had so far this year. I was off by a foot.... it's more! Are you near Caribou?

    Holy cow! That's a lot of snow! LOL! Caribou did get a lot of snow up there. They're in Northern Maine. I am actually on the coast, across the bay northeast of Portland.

    So you don't get as much where you're at? Are your winters warmer and summers cooler, too?

    We usually don't get as much, dependent on the storm tracks. We are generally at least 10-15 degrees warmer in the winter and summers are a little bit cooler here because of the sea breezes. Thank goodness for that! Even just a few miles can make a huge difference. There was one storm that caused a snow day for Matt's school because they had 5 inches of snow, and we had nothing at all down here at the house. That storm track was northwest to southeast and completely missed us! LOL! We were perfectly okay with that! There are days where it will be cloudy and foggy here, but it can be completely sunny at his school.

    It's 12°F in Caribou, and it's 26°F here by my thermometer.

    That's an amazing difference! It's that way here too.... we're cooler in summer and warmer in winter, but not to that extent! Does ice form close to the shore, on the ocean?

    The full moon came up tonight (again) and we got lucky.... the winds had pushed the ice around enough that there was a bit of open water, so you got that pretty reflection off the surface.
