This summer has been pretty good, weather-wise. We haven’t had any really hot days, and only a few sticky days. This past week we had quite a bit of rain which made my garden explode. I once again did not plan the pumpkins very well and they have already overtaken the cucumbers and are halfway …

The waiting is over…
My book is here. I will be pretty much unavailable until Monday. Turns out there was one of those Diagon Alley parties in Portland, Maine last night. I didn’t know about it. Oh, how you’ve failed me MuggleNet! (Just kidding )
Long silence
I’ve been quiet for a while. For anyone reading this…sorry about that. The past 6 months have been rather rough. Around Thanksgiving we found out that Chris had a growth on his right kidney. In December they realized it was a tumor and on New Year’s Eve we were told it was cancer. Happy New …
What a lousy week
Last Monday afternoon, I got a stomach ache. I couldn’t really fathom why, I had had a relatively healthy lunch. But I’m not exactly a bastion of health so I didn’t think much about it. An hour later, I was telling my supervisor I needed to go home. Thirty minutes later I was in the …
Night on the town…
Last night we went to Portland just to get away for a bit. It’s only an hour away, but it feels like a different world. There are things to do and places to go in Portland. Here in Belgrade, you have to make your own entertainment. Sometimes, I miss living in a more metropolitan area, …
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 …
One more week…
Next weekend over the holiday Chris, China and I are going camping. We had hoped to go more than once this year, but it’s been a pretty rough summer and we’ve only planned the one trip. We set up the tent tonight to let it air out and to clean out the dirt that wasn’t …
Greenville, Maine
This past Saturday we took a day trip up to Greenville, a popular spot for vacationers and tourists. It’s easy to see why. These two pictures are of the mountains surrounding Greenville. I didn’t get a picture of the lake (which is huge and is the first thing you see right in front of you …
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 …
