Melanie models her snazzy new paisley apron from Phoosh. (The Phoosh made me a matching snazzy blue paisley apron.)

What is a trip to Maine without a picture of the goats?

This photo illustrates just how not-white this Christmas was. I'm not complaining — it was a beautiful day!

After a morning of sitting around opening presents and eating bonbons, we all took a much-needed walk outside. I finally got to see Bessie's fort, of which I have heard many stories.

This fort has two entrances; the front porch entrance via this tree, or the back door via a ladder.

Back when I was a kid, my fort didn't have a vice *or* a kitchen sink, let alone a complete set of dishes and silverware. Not that I'm jealous. This fort is just awesome.

Yes, this fort has a second story. It's practically a guest house. I'm totally camping here on my next visit, if it's not reserved by someone else.
