Maine

Last week we had a great little ski trip in Maine to celebrate Rob (the boyfriend)'s birthday. A night in Portland, with a tour of the Allegash brewery, a day of skiing at Sunday River, and another day at Sugarloaf! We are so spoiled. We thought this would close out the ski season for us, but there is so much snow up there, we're thinking about another trip. While everyone I know is getting excited about Spring, I'm sticking firmly to Winter.

Another reason to head back up to Maine next month? To see how this lady fares in the warmer weather.

You are looking at the world's tallest snow woman in Bethel, Maine. I thought it was pretty cool, but the thing practically hypnotized Rob. "Would you LOOK at that," was all he could utter as he almost drove off the road every time we passed it.

In honor of the fun we had in Maine, here is the work of a wonderful Maine artist, Shannon Rankin. Her collages can be seen and purchased in her Etsy shop selflesh.
