Living in we call ‘off the grid’ in the Maine woods is a way of life few of us ever get to experience. To me, it feels very attuned to the cycles and seasons of Nature.

My cousin, Thayer and her husband, Bill, live in a sweet log home a few minutes north of Bar Harbor, Maine.

One morning … Continue reading A Walk at Dawn 7/19/24
