As you can tell by the header, I’ve harvested the pumpkins. I left three in the patch because they were still very small and green, but I cut all the rest, which totaled out to 11. I think that’s pretty good for my first year. I was going to wait to cut them, but we’ve …

So, what’s with the changing header?
If anyone has been visiting this blog, you may have noticed that the header seems to change every once in a while. It’s always those same two pumpkins, but they seem to look a little different. I’ve been taking pictures of the progress of my pumpkins and those two are my favorites. (Shh, don’t tell …
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My tomatoes are finally turning red. At least a dozen have ripened to the point that we can eat them. How many have we eaten? 3 (plus 2 cherry tomatoes). Why? Rodents. A couple of weeks ago our back field was mowed, thrashed and the hay was taken away. Therefore, the field mice have taken …
The Health Gods Be Frownin’
As the title suggests, health issues have been rather – omnipresent this past month. Chris started the month with gout. From what I could gather, this isn’t a comfortable condition. When I awoke one night to a yell and asked what was wrong, he said the sheet had touched his foot. Not the cat jumping …
Flowers around the house
Earlier this year, at the end of May, I planted some gladiolus flowers in memory of my grandmother who had just passed away. My dad told me that they were one of her favorite flowers. They’ve been growing pretty fast, and this past week, they finally started to bud. Yesterday, they started to bloom! It …
Reid State Park and Around the House
A couple of weekends ago we went down to Reid State Park. We’ve been to this park before, on our honeymoon, and not much has changed. It’s still very pretty, despite the fact that we got there at low tide. The beach looks nice, but I’m sure that if it had been a sunny day …
My new hero…
It’s been kind of hot here the past couple of days. I know, I used to live in Florida, I should be used to that. However, I was used to living in Florida with the A/C working at all hours. We don’t have A/C up here in Maine. It’s really hot right now (about 90) …
Around the House
This has been a rather sad week for me, but I don’t really feel like writing about that yet. So, I want to post some pictures of how beautiful it’s getting around here. It’s getting warmer, too, but hopefully it won’t get too unbearable. First, a look at the ‘tree project’ tree. It’s completely covered …
Popham Beach and Around the House
It’s been a while since I posted…again. It seems that nothing is really happening, but I’m always so very busy. The above picture is one I took two weekends ago when we took our second day trip down to Popham Beach. It was taken from the back of the Popham fort. The picture below is …
