December has arrived with January’s chill in Coastal Maine. So far this month, our average temperature has hovered around 20 degrees. Three rounds of snowfall have transformed the landscape into a winter wonderland. Thankfully, the accumulation hasn’t been too deep. Old Blue, our trusty but aging tractor, is currently out of commission. Hydraulic issues have sidelined Paul’s snow-clearing efforts, leaving him waiting for milder weather to tackle the repairs.
Earlier this fall, I set up a couple of cameras by the pond and have been delighted by the deer friends they’ve captured. I hope these glimpses of Maine wildlife bring you a bit of joy as well.
Always love your pictures… thanks for sharing.
I love the deer. I’m surprised they would walk onto the frozen pond. We’ve had herds of them in our field – one day I hope to set up some trail cameras. Our neighbor has a few on her land and catches deer, bobcats, fox and an occasional possum. So fun when she shares her pictures/videos with us. Sorry about your tractor problems, we’ve had the same here. Our 1950’s era Ford 8N wouldn’t start recently. Thankfully, after charging the battery my husband was able to get it into the garage where it lives and he’ll deal with the real problem in the spring. Merry Christmas from MA!
