It snowed! In Maine, not Dublin, in case you missed the episode last week where I surprised my family by coming home for Thanksgiving. I think this is the first snow I’ve seen in over two years, so it feels particularly novel and exciting. Although it was less novel and exciting when I was driving in it as it was falling – I do not miss that at all!
I got up very early yesterday morning and took my camera out to capture the morning light hitting the snowy branches. It was both beautiful and flipping freezing!
Portland is such a sweet little city, and I’m always grateful that my siblings live there (and only 4 blocks from each other, isn’t that awesome?!) and let me crash with them whenever I’m in town. I lived there for a year and a half before moving to Dublin and it’s become more trendy and more expensive in the last six years. So many restaurants! Cute little shops! Inundated with tourists in the summer! Well, that last part isn’t my favorite, but we can’t really complain since we are those tourists every summer.
I don’t know how it happened, but I was completely unprepared for this level of wintry cold. I had to borrow a down jacket from my sister since I inexplicably brought only a rain coat, and when I went to find my old L.L. Bean boots, someone had “borrowed” the laces! I guess that’s what you get when you leave your boots in the closet for six years.
I saw approximately 82 dogs being walked, and at least 4 having a romp in the snow. I just realized I caught this last little guy with his backside in the air!

I am so glad you suffered through the cold to bring us these magical photos of snow! And the wee dog, eeeeh!
Your photos are stunning. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous look into the wintry wonderland!
The morning light is just gorgeous… so worth the cold& early wake-up I think! Hope you had a wonderful time home.
