My Wicked Good Storm.

My Wicked Good Storm.

I live in Maine. We’re having a wicked good storm today. I thought you might be interested in seeing my “other home” (not to be confused with the “one I live in“), so I break from tradition and share a few images:

G54A0751 — My faithful companion, Lucy–always up for a challenge.

I think I’m going to get a lot of reading done today.

With an undergraduate degree in Religion and Philosophy, complimented with graduate work in the History of Ideas, Doug has spent his life chasing some of life’s big questions. As a result he has delved deeply into wisdom traditions both ancient and modern, including the philosophical schools of Existentialism, Pragmatism, and Stoicism; he has also explored several of the Eastern traditions, principally Zen Buddhism and Taoism. Admittedly, he is no expert on anything, being a simple pilgrim.

    I love snow…especially when it’s good and deep…..of course it’s best if I don’t have to be anywhere 🙂

  Thanks, Pete. Yep, a lot of snow. Twenty-nine inches in 24 hours. And calling for an inch an hour through the afternoon. Makes for a mighty cozy day.

    WOW
    
    Makes the five or six inches we had last weekend seem like a light dusting!

  Thanks, Sherry. Yep, a terrific afternoon, fire going, snow falling, book finished. And a nice tall Manhattan now at my elbow. Life is indeed good today.

  I don’t know where she got her spirit, but she’s always had it. Last week she treed a raccoon about twice her size, and a month before that she cornered a porcupine, got barbs in her nose and didn’t flinch when I yanked them out. Last summer, up in the north woods, we happened across a moose. I had to hold her, a low growl coming from her belly. I suspect she would have gone fearless on me if I’d let her. She’s a keeper. Thanks for checking into “the house.”

Doug,
We left for North Carolina on Thursday…stopping in MD en route. Our timing was perfect. Your photos from your morning walk are great. Dogs sure know how to do joy, eh?

  You missed all the fun! And yes, dogs are great teachers. Safe travels.
