It’s a much needed rainy day on The Hill. Not only for the growing grass, plants and ever so slowly budding trees, but for myself. With better weather, I’m out the door before the sun even fully rises. The sound of the chirping birds in the morning and the peepers from the bog are almostContinue reading “Finally…Winter is OVER!”

April Snow Showers?? Bring Poor Mans Fertilizer….Are We There Yet???
We’re nearly at the end of April and had a rude awakening this morning. I pull the drapes open only to see the wind gusting and snow falling and blowing across the fields. By the looks of social media, many were disappointed by the sight that they witnessed this morning. April has always been anContinue reading “April Snow Showers??

Mud Season is a Real Season in Maine
Mainers know all too well about mud season. Especially if they have to travel down dirt roads. Not only does mud season turn the back dirt roads into sloppy ruts and sliding goo, but it has an effect on many of the paved roads, as the frost lifts out of the ground. Potholes and frostContinue reading “Mud Season is a Real Season in Maine”
Our Other Happy Place
I wasn’t sure if I was going to have time to write this week. With the change of weather, from blustery (being an understatement) and cold to warm sunshine, I figured I’d be outside the remainder of the week. That thought was rudely interrupted this morning as the sun rose and the wind picked up.Continue reading “Our Other Happy Place”
Can we just skip March?
March has arrived. And that’s just what it did. MARCHED right in. If you’ve been following my Blog, you already know I’m not a fan of the wind. It terrifies me. I’d rather drive in a snow storm, then drive in high winds. Tuesday, we had the biggest and strongest windstorm I have ever witnessed,Continue reading “Can we just skip March?”
With Time Comes Change
I become very nostalgic come February. Twenty-five years ago, I was blessed with a title. A new roll. No interview was had. No background check done (not that I needed one). No references required. Not even any on the job training. At a mere 20 years old, I was excited, nervous, scared to death withContinue reading “With Time Comes Change”
My Knowledge Bump
A few years ago we had to change out my favorite gas cooking stove. An old 1950ish Vulcan. White enamel coated, with four large burners and 12″ on each side for extra work space. It had the storage door on the front for cookie sheets and other thin pans. I loved that stove. It wasContinue reading “My Knowledge Bump”
She’s a Beautiful Tree
Outside our window is an old apple tree. I have a fondness for this majestic abstract piece of nature. She even has a name, Medusa. Her limbs and branches are bent, twisted, broken and quirky. She’s weathered and worn. She displays growths and scars. Layers of bark peeling, crumbling and falling to the ground. MyContinue reading “She’s a Beautiful Tree”
Every Season Holds Beauty
Nature. A huge part of me. A lover of the great outdoors. Lucky for us, the Schoolhouse is surrounded by an abundance of beauty in every direction. All the seasons have something spectacular to offer. Just this morning, as the sun was rising, I stepped out to take a quick photo. Next thing I know,Continue reading “Every Season Holds Beauty”
