Summer Celebrations


Our family just got back from a magnificent long weekend at a New England camping place at Pawtuckaway State Park in New Hampshire.


It was somewhat of a culture shock to me (a city mouse) as I’m used to traditional camping locations, and the NH campground and lake was almost 3 miles into the woods, off the main road!

While there, we held a family reunion with charming son-in-law’s family from Vermont.

There weren’t any lions, tigers or bears, (Oh My!) but I did see a water moccasin snake, and a huge mother-spider on my car!

I really can’t wait to go back again next year!

Cape Cod Rail Trail – Wordless Wednesday

One of my favorite things to do when we go up to The Cape is to ride the Cape Cod Rail Trail.

It’s a bike path that runs approximately 25 miles and cuts through the Cape Cod National Seashore, from Wellfleet to Dennis.

There’s bikes, rollerbladers and pedestrians of all types!  The scenic vistas of the cranberry bogs, salt marshes and kettle ponds are magnificent!

On this particular trip we rode 14 miles round-trip!

Summer in Chatham Harbor, Cape Cod

When I was vacationing up at the Cape with my daughter, charming son-in-law and the grandkids, I took them to visit Chatham Harbor.

Chatham is famous for the Chatham Light House, but also has many interesting visitors!

When seals are in the harbor, sharks aren’t too far behind!

Just recently many of  Chatham’s beautiful beaches have been closed because of shark sitings about 100 yards offshore, Great Whites just like Jaws included!

I’m the Dr. Kevorkian of plants.  These won’t last long, and probably won’t make the whole summer.  Really.

Vermont Stream and Bridge in Snow

Everywhere I go in Vermont, no matter what season – there’s always a photo opportunity waiting for me!

The state recently received over 30 inches of snow from the monstrous blizzard last week that affected the East Coast.

My BFF from kindergarten lives in Enfield, New Hampshire. She owns Bearly Used Books, a really cute used book store, complete with pellet stoves, and recently sent me a book on how to shoot scenic photography.

This scenic picture was taken on the way to Northfield, Vermont – home to Norwich University.

Green Mountains

Before I met my son-in-law, I think I’d only been up to Vermont once to go skiing when I was in high school.  My husband and I would travel up Interstate 91 to go to New Hampshire for vacations, but we never really left the highway to see this beautiful state.

My oldest daughter’s husband is a Vermonter.  I’m so excited that I can now experience the beauty of the Green Mountain state’s four seasons through the eyes of locals, and not as a tourist!  My daughter’s in-laws know all the back roads with magnificent views!

This photo was taken on our way to a birthday party outside Montpelier, Vermont’s capitol.  My charming son-in-law’s cousins live atop this spectacular mountain!  The view will take your breath away!

Connecticut Farm Barn and Pasture – Wordless Wednesday

Off The Beaten Path

Brown Farm Barn in Winter Snow Portland Connecticut

Earlier this month there was a tragedy at a clean energy power plant being built in Connecticut along the Connecticut River.  My husband and I were out for a ride in Portland, just across the narrowest part of the river from Middletown, where the plant was located.   We were able to see the remains of the plant from the road.

Along the way with nothing in site except a small baby eagle, soaring overhead looking for dinner, we passed this quaint farm barn.

I didn’t have my digital camera with me, so this was the best I could do with my cell phone.

Next month I’m giving away a ticket to BlogHer10 in New York City. If you win, you might want to stop by and visit New England and see my neck of the woods! Check out my post for more info!

Little Old School House Connecticut – Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

In New England, you can drive to almost any town and find little old school houses.  Some are one or two-room buildings.  The children would each have their own rooms, with boys taught in one room, and girls in the other.  Many have been preserved as museums, or converted into community buildings for use such as art leagues.  Some are on the National Historic Register.

This historic schoolhouse is in Windsor, Connecticut.

This photo was taken in Windsor, Connecticut – the oldest town in the state.  It reminds me of the poem by Robert Frost - “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.”

Where do you think the path leads?
