I love the details in old barns. (I used picnik’s 1960′s filter on these pictures)

As I’ve mentioned before one of my favorite parts of the Vermont 100 is watching the horses. The owners take such good care of their animals, at the Tracer Brook Aid station they stop to let the horses cool off in the stream. Here’s a little photo story I put together. Sometimes it takes the [...]

As a young child, living the the greater Toronto Area, I decided to go sledding on the snowbanks by my tiny suburban driveway before school one morning. The snowbank was steep and I smashed my face into the driveway. I cracked my brand new front tooth diagonally, starting a drama that has recently had another [...]

I’ve been a fan of domestic rats for a long time. In fourth grade I babysat the class rats over Christmas break. One of the kids I babysat in high school had a rat that pretty much lived in her sweatshirt. As a college kid I had a few rats of various colours. I’ve always [...]

Last weekend we traveled to Vermont so Adam could run the Vermont 100. As did last year I blogged about the horse race run at the same time on the same course on my FillyRunner blog. I wanted to share some of the pictures I took of these amazing animals that were more portrait like. [...]

As a freckled skin, heat sensitive person I’m not generally a summer person. I chose to stay in an area that gets snow because I like the cold. But there are some things I love about summer in New Hampshire (although I’m sure I could get the same things in plenty of places). The availability [...]

One of the purposes of this blog is to stay in touch with friends and family. I post a lot about my life, the hubby and our pup Cooper. I sometimes mention Audrey, our pretty gray kitty. But I realized this weekend I very rarely mention our third pet. HappyCat is pretty much just a [...]

Because we had a day off work for independence day, and because it was the hottest day so far this summer, Adam decided to celebrate his lack of independence from our house. Our house is a bit of a fixer upper. The window sills were one of the problems pointed out in inspection. After waiting [...]

Women’s Rowing as an NCAA sport was created to help meet the requirements of title 9. Many schools added programs to help compensate for the vast amounts of money being poured into the football programs. So when places with huge expensive football programs like Texas – Austin and University of Miami came a courting I [...]

I think Cooper misses his winter hiking booties. I mean, why else would he avoid perfectly good rocks to walk right through the swamp. I guess the booties are stylish and all. And that he’s a pretty noticeable fellow with them on. But wouldn’t it be preferable for him to not have stinky muck on [...]
