Found this lovely window in a work photo.

I am very happy with the root cellar (aka the basement egress) this year. New buckets with sawdust and 100 pounds of vegetables and fruit from the local farm. Some tree seeds getting ready for spring.

This, a winter or two's worth of heat showed up in the dark of night, last night. (Not the cat's fault)

Yup. Kili loved cross braces too. Given that he was cat-shaped-negative-space, he could scare anyone from up there.

Took our anniversary trip to Pemaquid. I took the iconic picture of the lighthouse with the just rebuilt bell building in front. I particularly like the shadow of the flag and the seagull on the roof of the weight building.

A bit of sharpening and contrast increase, reveal that I was wrong.

... if you can't afford to keep it comfortable.

Here is a graph of improvements in energy usage and carbon production that I have made on my house, over 15 years. All done on very limited budget, mostly by myself.

Rarely seem, and only by people with very efficient windows, my windows are currently fogged up on the OUTSIDE. This requires the the exterior surface be colder then the outside air, while also being heated from the inside. Note: left hand window is triple pane, right hand (without) is double.

Sealed off the bulkhead door (basement outside door). Set as a root cellar until spring.

Moments ago. Sunset season is well and truly started.

Back in the business of collecting solar energy to heat my hot water.

Just a cool tree trunk by the river.

Maine, lupine season.

Eclipse wrecking a perfect solar day...

My best shot from yesterday.

First crocus of the year. Very early.
