East Bethel
What an odd winter this is turning out to be! First we have a blizzard then spring-like temperatures and now quite cold again. Does anyone recall a winter like this? In April I will be able to celebrate my 25th anniversary of making Bethel my hometown, and in all these years I don't seem t... xx0 Comments -

Three moose have been gallivanting up and down Back Street -- crisscrossing the road when and where they choose. Although I don't think they actually "own the road" they certainly make the decision for me as to when I can proceed! I hope your new year has started out well! Crazy weather --... xx -

The January thaw came very early this year -- starting on New Year’s Day! Finally, on Monday, there was a return to seasonal weather. Some of the Nordic races at Black Mountain had to be deferred a day or two because of the ravages of rain and above-freezing temperatures to the ski trails. ... xx -

The holidays have come and gone and a new year has arrived. We will all have to get used to writing 2011 now. My brother, Steve McLain, was at the house last Saturday. He had his little black dog, Laney, with him. She was happy to find a gray squirrel that she could chase off the porch wh... xx -

Unusually warm weather in the past few days has melted much of the snow that Bethel received in last week’s blizzard. Ice in ponds, lakes, and rivers across the state has also melted. Although ice fishing season began on Jan. 1, the Warden Service has warned that many ponds and lakes are un... xx -

There has been a big change in the weather this past week. Several days did not get above the freezing mark. Right now on Sunday it is 44 degrees and the snow cover is shrinking. Last week daughter Wendy and I were in Portland for my last check-up before shoulder surgery on Wednesday of t... xx
