The plus side of living on an island in Maine in the winter is that the island is a magical wonderland when it snows. We got a perfect snow on Friday. I woke up to a white sky and blanketed forest (oh yeah my house is in the woods!), and then right when I got out of class at eleven, the sky was bright blue and sunny and we pranced around campus giddily.

And then on Saturday Becca's family came to visit. We all went skating at Eagle Lake for a few hours, then went home and ate SO MUCH good food. Eagle Lake is the water source for the island, so you can't swim in it. Which is why it is best enjoyed in the winter when it freezes over! There was a couple inches of snow on the ice, but it was still easy to glide through it.

Yes, winter is good.
