Good morning from Maine where the sun is shining and the air is cold. I had to use an ice scraper to clear my car’s windshield on Friday morning. This is my favorite time of the year to be outside. I plan to enjoy today’s sunshine by playing with my dogs at our favorite pond, Oversett Pond. While we wait for things to warm up a bit, I’ll write out this week’s list of the most popular posts of the week.
