First, some updates… (You can skip this and see my most popular articles beneath my “Enthusiasm…” illustration, below.)
I’m writing this from a winter rental near Ogunquit, Maine (USA).
Note: In New England, a “winter rental” is a home, hotel suite, cabin, or motel room that’s rented – by the week or by the month – at a far lower rate than in the summer months.
A bit of history: At the end of June 2025, we left Florida. We thought it would be the first of two steps as we decide exactly where to put down roots.
We’re in coastal Maine for now, as my husband interviews for jobs, and – as time permits – we discover wonderful rural and coastal landscapes. Of course, this fits perfectly with my plans: to take more photos and create even more art!
FYI: I grew up in Belmont, Massachusetts – just outside Boston – and have lived in several states from Maine to Texas, and from Illinois to California… and more. So, moving isn’t entirely uncomfortable for me. (Tiresome at times, but not awful… and, besides, we LOVE Maine!
I’m reorganizing and updating this site – over 300 articles – so it’s more current, loads faster, and is easier to navigate.
