Farewell 2016

 

It’s time to bid 2016 farewell. Today marks the last Monday of the year, thus this is my last blog post of the year. Next Monday will not only bring with it a new year, but a slight change in my blogging schedule.

 
Instead of a new blog post every Monday, I’ll be posting a new blog every OTHER Monday. Aww, I can feel your sadness.

 
I made this decision so that I could start focusing more on my other writing projects in the year to come. My hope is to be able to finish my second novel and start looking into avenues of publication.

 
I will make a new post next Monday to kick off the new year, so I’ll leave you with this random photo of a chipmunk I took earlier this year…

Hey, Chip! Where’s Dale!? (ba-dum-tss  *sound of crickets*)

 

Anyway…

 

 
Until next time…

What A Difference…

 

…Ten days makes.

Not too long ago, on Christmas Day, there was no snow to be found in my little corner of Maine and the temperature was in the 50s.  Unheard of since I can remember.

Today, there’s at least five inches of snow on the ground and it’s in the 30s.  The wind chill makes it seem more like single digits, though.  It would be bearable if not for the damn wind.

In spite of the wind, I tried going hiking a few days ago, like I did on Christmas Day and it was a completely different experience.  Instead of nice weather where I didn’t need a jacket like on Christmas Day, this past excursion had me bundled in several layers with a hood, a hat, gloves, the works, and I was still freezing.

Regardless, I pressed on, my trusty camera at the ready.  You wouldn’t believe how many deer tracks I found in the snow.

Until next time…
