Happy Holidays to All

Early January 2010

I apologize for not posting near the end of last month. Activities continue to slow down a bit up here. We have plenty of snow. A"blizzard" several days ago turned into about 10 inches of snow and heavy winds. Dawn Towey, a friend, remarked that the wind won't be blowing at our camps, we can just listen to the wind in the treetops. Often I worry about the trees toppling in front of camps and it was comforting to listen to the wind whistling in the treetops for most of the evening. A great sound indeed.

Here's a photo of the pond from my porch. In the photo it's hard to tell if it's snow or water. Trust me it's snow.





I thought that I would inclde a couple of area photos in the mix today. Below is a snowman family in the field near the dentist's office.






And below is Saddleback as the sun was setting.
Friends of Quimby Pond
I want to thank all of you, who responded to the donation request. We have collected $330.00 so far. The funds will help us in the watershed survey this spring. Our steering committee is meeting monthly. Tomorrow night John Towey and I meet with the Rangeley selectmen to update them on our progress and request a few more dollars. Wish us luck!
