We visited the coolest place yesterday. If I, for some reason, woke up in this forest and had no idea where I was, I would guess that I was in Florida or Costa Rica or some tropical location like that. I had no idea someplace like this existed in Maine. To what am I referring? […]

I’ve got this friend who is totally into camping. He’s gone winter camping on our property earlier this season and recently showed interest in doing so again. The last time he camped, he did it alone. The temperature dropped to five degrees Fahrenheit overnight and I had no interest in joining him. I didn’t even […]

I really had only one goal in mind. That was to get out there to see what my wide angle lens could do. I’ve had this lens for quite a while, but haven’t used it in some time. I’ve been so busy with the Canon 18-135mm that I recently purchased that I sort of put […]

In my opinion, winter truly is the best season. Hands down. Fall is a close second, but winter really has so much to offer. During my years growing up, I never saw it that way, but I sure do now. The reason I wasn’t very fond of winter while I was young is because it […]

So far, this autumn has been very nice. It’s been dry and just the right temperature. There were a few hot and humid days thrown in there about a week ago, but they passed quickly and we returned to our regular temperatures. Around 40 degrees at night and 55 during the day, although last night […]

Yesterday was car inspection day. We have a car and a truck that both need to get inspected annually. A few years back, I decided to get them looked at in the same month, so things would be easier and I’d remember when that month was. For some reason or another, I thought that April […]

What a perfect day. We just got back from exploring the wilderness and I have to tell you that this winter hiking really is a thing. There were people all over the place in the woods. I was so surprised. I even snapped some photos of them to prove it. I used to think that […]

Well, we woke up to this year’s first substantial snowfall. I’m not sure the word substantial is the correct one to use here because all we got was a mere three inches, but it did cover all the grass, so that’s good enough for me. And the fact that I had to use the snowblower […]

Today was a very adventurous day for us. After a bit of work this morning, I suggested that we get out there to enjoy this wonderful fall weather we’ve been having. Apparently, there’s a gigantic state we’re living in that has yet to be explored. We’ve seen, I don’t know, maybe half of a half […]

This has been one busy week weather-wise. I feel like we’re living in Siberia or something. People are out and about on their snowmobiles and Sugarloaf is in high gear with all sorts of skiers and snowboarders. Good winters only come around every so often. When they do, they really do. I’m going to guess […]
