I raise Scottish Highland cattle, honeybees & have a maple operation on a small farm in Maine USA. In winter, I write books. Oh, and I love chickens : )

My heart is breaking for the people of Lewiston who were targeted tonight by a dangerous gunman. Maine is one big neighborhood & tomorrow we will all learn that someone we know has been affected by this tragedy.

I’m sure I join many current/former Portland residents in saying I feel like I’ve lost a friend I’ve never met. Kevin, you brought so much joy to us all. Thank you for spreading love. I hope you know how many hearts you touched with all of yours❀️ mainepublic.org/news/2023-04…

Despite the wintery landscape in central Minnesota, yesterday I saw my first male Red-winged Blackbird of the season. A few years ago, I took this image of large flock of redwings as they migrated northward. Males travel first, followed by females a few weeks later.

It was great to visit with Virginia Oliver of Rockport, Maine's famous "Lobster Lady", just a few months shy of her 103rd birthday! She is still lobstering and a force to be reckoned with!

One of our Meteorologist took this photo of a 22Β° Halo from Castle Hill. A halo is a ring or light that forms around the sun or moon as the sun or moon light refracts off ice crystals present in a thin veil of cirrus clouds. #MEwx #Maine

Hey y’allβ€”consider rescheduling your Fri/Sat hike up Katahdin, since wind chills will be around -90F up there. Maybe go somewhere warmer. Like the South Pole.
Wind Chill Warning for ALL of Eastern & Northern #Maine from Late Thursday Night - Saturday Evening. Wind Chills 50-60Β° Below Zero across the North with 40-50Β° Below Zero. Actual air temperatures will be well below zero. #MEwx

This is really going to hurt. #Maine has not seen this kind of cold in decades. Strong wind, risk for power outages, blizzard conditions in areas of blowing snow, frozen pipes, dead car batteries, engines seizing up, hypothermia & frostbite. BAD. #MEwx
