Beth: I don't know what possessed me to write this as I never write to people I don't know, but I have just ordered a dragon's tears bracelet and can't wait to get it. Hopefully it will bring me some good luck & magic in 2006. For some odd ball reason I started reading your journal and got to the pictures of your new puppy and the Northern Lights. How breathtaking they must be in person. It actually brought tears to my eyes, but then I am a little overly sensitive these days as my husband & I were

Becky: Enjoyed your journal. Reminds me of when we lived in Maine, '78-'89. You like the same things about Maine I do. My husband and I have been doing Atkins for 3 years now. He's better at it than I am. But, basically, we think it's a pretty healthy way to eat, so long as you don't go extreme for very long. You have beautiful jewelry. How do you like the mud/spring season this year?
Kandice: Beautiful journal!! I love all the pictures. :)

Skunk Month

February shall now be known as skunk month.  For the last 2 years Feb. has brought us Valentine's day and the lovely smell of skunk.  I'm not sure what it is.. perhaps the warmer weather lures these beautiful creatures out of their slumber prematurely.  One lives under our kitchen. One always lives under our kitchen... we find a dead one on the road and a week later another has moved in.  Maybe it's warm under their.. it sure must be cosy.

Anyway, maybe Feb. is the month they mate? I don't know, all I know is that on an almost daily basis we get sprayed with eau de Skunk. It fills the entire house. It wakes you from a dead sleep. It lingers for days. It is quite horrible. This happened last Feb. too.... so I have dubbed Feb. Skunk Month.

Maine is full of adventure and has more seasons than the rest of the world.

Winter
Winter
Winter
..followed by Skunk Month... mud season....blackfly season....mosqueto season.. a very brief summer...leaf peeper season... followed once again by winter.

And regardless... we still love living here.. must be the skunk spray getting to our brains.....and I often wonder... when I go to the grocery store do I smell like skunk?

Have a good one....

Nan
