A group of gals, dubbed the ” Nicatous Lake Dusty Diva’s” rode their ATV’s to Nicatous Lodge last week for lunch. Evidently the paparazzi couldn’t find us out here in the boonies to cover the event , so I will have to do it in my blog. The day was clear and sunny as the . . . → Read More: Dusty Diva’s Dine At Nicatous Lodge…

Lightening Strike…

Maine is not known for huge thunder and lightening storms but we sure have had our share this summer. On August 1, we had a storm that equaled a lot of the storms that you see in the south. Weather is changing everywhere.

The next morning (Tuesday), we had a few small storms and then . . . → Read More: Lightening Strike…

Eagles in the news…

We have a fair amount of eagles here in Maine. It’s hard to believe that less than 40 years ago, eagles were almost extinct. There were only about 20 nesting pairs at that time.

Fast forward to 2011, and we have more than 500 nesting pairs of eagles in the state. Right here on the . . . → Read More: Eagles in the news…

We arrived back at camp about a month ago and while we were opening up camp, we hauled out the ATV’s for a short ride – can’t just work all the time, you know.

We hadn’t gone far before we started see hand-printed signs for Jack’s Snack Shack. Hmmmm! a new place to eat . . . → Read More: Jack’s Snack Shack…

Sunrise — Hunter’s Moon Setting on Passadumkeag Mountain

glbuzz — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 02:12:49 +0000

The Hunter’s moon is the first full moon after the harvest moon, which is the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. This year it happened on October 22. The next morning, as I was having coffee and gazing at the lake, I noticed that the rising sun was illuminating the foliage on Passadumkeag Mountain and . . . → Read More: Sunrise — Hunter’s Moon Setting on Passadumkeag Mountain

The sounds of night at the lake…

glbuzz — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 14:54:15 +0000

We spent last weekend at the lake. The sounds at night are awesome. We hear many different frogs croaking and of course, the call of the loons. If you don’t have loons where you live, their haunting sounds are special. They are pretty black and white water birds with a big beak and red eyes. . . . → Read More: The sounds of night at the lake…

The Taste Of Maine restaurant in Woolwich, Maine has a webcam on a pair of ospreys that return each year to a man-made perch that was built fifteen years ago.

We spent last weekend at our camp at the lake. We LOVE it there but with the thawing of the ice and melting of the snow and the warmth of spring comes the “not-so-nice” part of living in Maine. It is the dreaded black fly season!!

Maine is not the only place that has these . . . → Read More: Black fly season in Maine…
