Photos From the White Mountains NH
On a drive, just passing through some of New Hampshire’s north country, above the notch, I had a chance to take a few quick pictures. It was a gorgeous, late fall afternoon and the mountains were calling. Enjoy.

I Call It Home
I may not own a kingdom, or even a castle if truth be told. Oh but there is joy whenever I cross that simple threshold. I am not a royal, or high-ranking, and certainly not…
Late Summer Sunrise
The picture isn’t the best one I have ever taken, and it’s hard to capture the unique back-lit glow that the sun provides. Even so, the setting with the old farm and the clouds being…

My First DIY Chicken Coop
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…

2018 Quality Raised Garden Beds
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.

One Mile Color
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.
“I don’t want her to be forgotten”
It’s been more than a year wince Wendy Tefft died. I am no detective and only have access to the same information that everyone else has access to. But for some 380 days now, I have wondered just how many questions are there left to answer regarding her death.
Hummingbird Hawk-Moth
This was a 19-second video that I took with my phone yesterday. I slowed it down to half speed. It’s a Hummingbird Hawk-Moth. I know it’s not the best quality, but kind of cool to…
2017 Quality Raised Garden Beds
So, an innocent conversation with friends, about the possibility of having raised garden beds and whether they could place one on the side of a hill, turned into my latest woodworking project. It all started with manufacturing the sides and ends by cutting and combining boards to get walls that were 12.5″ deep. Then some pilot holes, plastic lining (last year’s backyard ice rink), some weed block, 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.

Green Ceiling
Before the leaves turned, and before the weather changed, there was green. Along the trails, the sun lit the forest, worthy of being seen.
Night Lights in NH
It was 39°F, and the breeze was doing all it could to be upgraded to a full-fledged wind. After my eyes adjusted I was amazed at the light, even with no visible moon.
Funeral
But I was wrong, it wasn’t the good that had left the room, but rather the feeling of evil had entered and hung like a thick black smoke over everyone and every thing. I can’t say that I have ever felt that way before, but it was a place to which not a soul I’d ever again wish to bring.
The Story of the Show Tree
This tree dazzled all that passed by, with its’ brilliance in color and personality.
But I paid attention when it beckoned, and I listened to what it had to say to me.

Tree In Change
It was said, don’t fly too high, or get too close to the sun.
But the trees climb to light, and show themselves to everyone.
