Lay of the land
The wind was howling at 15-20 miles per hour. The air temperature was 24Β°F in the woods with a wind chill of 10Β°F or so. But there’s still so much to see, so much to…

Once in a while, a road trip takes me through scenes and views that are too numerous to count, and too splendid to accurately capture in pictures. I try though, to convey the breathtaking goodness and beauty found in weather and creation.
Trailing a stormy front moving from west to east, the sky was impossible to miss.
Autumn dusting in Grantham
How is that the roads run to the places from where we come? But we see what we want and it differs from.
After much looking around and some research on ideas, I didn’t really decide on anything I liked. So I just decided to make my own chicken coop with some ideas in my head and some…
We were fortunate enough to get to Abrams Pond again this year. We had lots of downtime with family and enjoyed a gorgeous week of humidity-free summer weather.Β
Even though we ended up at some wonderful destinations during our trip to British Columbia, there were a lot of hours spent on the road. Every morning we left our home base in Salmon Arm,…
Hell’s Gate is an impressive display of power, both in terms of water and wind. On the Fraser River, where two mountain ranges meet, the scope of this place is deceiving.Β
I guess I don’t have a bucket list really, but if I did, seeing Yoho National Park would be on it. I was fortunate enough to visit the park for a portion of one day.…
I began coaching youth baseball back in the mid-1990’s. Over the years I have had more fun being a part ofΒ teams and interactingΒ with parents, coaches, players, and opponents than I could ever recount.
Some people see a raised garden bed, some people see a photo waiting to happen.
So, an innocent conversation with friends last year, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether or not they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into a woodworking project that has continued this year. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12″ deep. Then some pilot holes, support for the corners, and a 3 1/2″ lip all the way around (to lean on or sit on), and I had a finished product.

Oh my, where do I start? I guess I start with recognizing the fact that it has been several months since the last time that I really sat down to write something, to create, to formulate frames, thoughts, and ideas through the use of words.
Then I suppose I should include the fact that I went to see The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, The Best of TSO and More Tour 2017 on Saturday, November 25th in Manchester, NH. As often happens with me when I listen to these folks, even while I was sitting there at the venue, watching both the afternoon and evening shows, I had words, ideas, lyrics, and emotions I wanted to capture, all swirling in my head.

This fall has been a warm one here in NH. Traveling throughout New England this fall, I have noticed that in different regions of Northern New England the colors have ranged from breathtaking to just plain beautiful.

Imagine a place so beautiful that you would travel hundreds of miles just to see it. Just to circle through the area in hopes of not missing a single beautiful angle. Just to let the scenes wash over you. A place to stop and have a long look, just to “drink it all in”. First, let’s start with a few simple pictures from my phone. These were taken in New Brunswick, Canada.Β
The twins were so excited for school this morning. We saw a doe with three beautifully speckled fawns on the way to school.
Once again, we were fortunate enough to have a week-long vacation in Eastbrook, Maine. All of us speak of this vacation throughout the year, and it usually it sounds something like this, “I cannot wait to get to Maine this year!”
