It feels like summer! The grass is tall, the air is warm, the sky is blue!
Meadows in Maine- May
Spot and I take a lot of walks. And in the spring, summer, and fall, many of them are in meadows. The closest meadow walk is along the Damariscotta River, above the town of Damariscotta.

It is difficult to believe that Memorial Day weekend is nearly here, but so it is! And with that many of us start thinking of gardens.

It is spring in Maine!
Finally!
After a long, cold few months, this last weekend spring arrived in all of it’s loveliness.

Spring comes slowly in the north. Looked for eagerly, everyone is grateful when we turn the corner on winter.

March came in like a lion this year, and is leaving in the same way. This has been the coldest March on record for the state of Maine.
This March has been cold! Every day the thermometer read just above 0 degrees F. Ice, snow, and cold has been the norm. While it would be lovely to see snowdrops, we are a bit away from that!
Saturday was a beautiful glorious day. It seemed as if spring had finally arrived. But, yesterday it poured, and I mean poured, a cold wet rain. With a super high tide, the ground still frozen, there was no where for the water to go. Roads were flooding. And today it has been a day of sleet!
But, Saturday was worth the wait. Spot and I took not one walk, but two! It was just too nice to be indoors!
The meadows have been too icy for us to walk,
so, it was with joy we set out!
I will get more pictures posted later,
but first some fabric news!

WATERCOLOR FABRICS!
Around the end of January
we received samples of several watercolor fabrics.
We put in our order,
and sat back and waited.
There are two florals, a zig-zag stripe, and a mermaid’s garden.
We got the first of them up last week!
THE WATERCOLOR FLORAL-

Well, the month is more than half over. And it has, so far, been the coldest March on record- with no end in sight!

March in Maine is a stop and go affair as far as weather is concerned. Snow one day, melting the next. The light changes, the water sparkles, and suddenly, despite snow, it is spring!
