So Many Talented Artists on Mt.Desert Island!

Thank you Diana Ansley (one of the many talented artists in Acadia National Park) for giving me permission to share your Long Pond Fog Landscape. I have seen this view on many mornings when I drive from my home on the pond to my office in the village...

"FOG" reminds me of Carl Sandberg's legacy...(What does it mean to be an American?).."Who am I, where am I going, and where have I been?"

The Fog comes on little cat feet

It sits looking over harbor and city

on silent haunches and then moves on

(Poem by Carl Sandberg)

Acadia Vacations, Quiet Reflections

I found this Fall Foliage photo of the Somesville bridge in last year's files...sent from one of our 'paying house guests' at Acadia Pines...

Fall Foliage will be here before we know it!

If you have not booked your Maine cottage yet, email or call ASAP to reserve your spot.

We'll leave the lights on for you, welcome you with homemade bread and jam...and GrampE Bob will make a special welcome sign for your 'Piece of Maine'.

"I stood on the bridge at midnight as the clocks were striking the hour,

and the moon rose o'er the city behind the dark church tower,

I saw her bright reflection in the waters under me..."

Poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Born in Portland, Maine)

Time flies when you're having fun

I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted photos of Somesville, Long Pond, and Acadia National Park. Guess I've been too busy spring cleaning, getting the cottages ready for our paying house guests!

If you have not made your vacation plans yet, there are still a few weeks open in GramEpat and GrampEbob's cabins. The rates and dates available are posted on our Acadia Pines Vacation Rentals web site. (When you email a note to reserve your spot, remind me that I offered a special online coupon promo discount

($50 off the summer rate).

We look forward to sharing this beautiful island with you!

Fun Times and Fond Memories

We are looking forward to the children's program this Saturday AM at our quaint village Library.
Hope you can drop by to visit. (Fun Times)




When I was driving by the village Library this AM, I saw my favorite ducks (Max and Matilda) waiting by my friend Elaine's bench, wondering when the kids were coming to feed them. It's hard to believe the wonderful warm weather we have this year for Mud Season...
(Three Seasons in Maine: Summer, Winter, and Mud Season :)
BTW:I took this photo last summer..It is not THAT warm yet!)

Thank you Nicole for the designing the event poster...and Thank you Gail for letting me share your painting of Elaine's Bench. Elaine Reddish was a good friend and a valuable and appreciated member of the Somesville Library Board of Trustees. (Fond Memories)

March Madness on Mt.Desert Island

I must be dreaming! I'm on my pedal boat, in the middle of Long Pond, reading a great novel!...The ice is gone....and, it's only March in Maine!....The colors are spectacular, the fresh air is fabulous, the birds are tweeting and the ducks are flying in for a landing. Please don't wake me!...I'm luvin' it !

Looks like reservations will be coming in very early this year for Spring hiking, biking and boating in Acadia.

Cottage rental rates and dates for broker owned Acadia Pines Rental Cabins are posted on my web sites. Email or call ASAP to reserve your spot.

(PS: It won't take me long to open up GramE's Camp next to our home on the Pond if you want to come early this year...assuming this wonderful weather continues.)

SkyBluePink Winter Sunsets in Acadia National Park

I came home from work early this evening and saw this spectacular view from our dining room window. I knew that if I didn't take the photo immediately, the kaleidoscope of colors would disappear before GrampE Bob arrived.

The last few times that I posted the early evening views from Long Pond on my blog, Bob captured those incredible sunsets for me..This time it was my turn to 'share the moments to remember'

"Sunrise, Sunset,Swiftly Flow the Days"

What an incredible winter this has been in Acadia National Park.

Could it get any better than this?

Looking for Your Piece of Maine?

34 Degrees...and the sun is shining! Feels like summer in Maine!

My NJ relatives are digging out from under several feet of snow....and my husband is on a ferry boat ride to Vinalhaven today. ...gazing around...''looking for a piece of Maine' ...(Of course, Mainers think that when the temperature is 34 degrees , they should be in shirt sleeves and shorts...riding around in their cars with the windows down and their sun roofs open :)

....or wearing a baseball cap, relaxing on the deck...and taking in the view :)
