The second part of our puppy’s first weekend with us was eventful in itself, but a little less insane than the first (I hope). He seems a little more content and happier to play at least. Race Prep: My house can be pretty busy the morning of a sporting event, especially if guests stayed over [...]
Races
Muddy Moose
Adam and my friend Erin raced the Muddy Moose in Wolfeboro, NH this weekend. It’s a interesting race because of the muddy aspect. I did the 4 mile option last year and there was huge sections of knee deep mud. The entire course is pretty much mud puddle after mud puddle. Adam and Erin did [...]

Cooper's arrival (Part 1)
My poor puppy probably thinks that life in our home is a constant rat race. His first weekend living with us was constant excitement and dozens of people who wanted to pet, handle, kiss, hug and generally manhandle him. An overview of his first weekend (Part 1): Separated from family: Cooper seemed to be a [...]

Cooper's arrival
We had have an incredibly eventful weekend. And my cats got outside this morning which made for a very entertaining morning (which Cooper and the cats all thought was great fun). But I’ll have plenty to blog about this week, even if I just stick to what happened this weekend… if life slows down enough [...]

Car Love
Those who know me in real life know that I’m addicted to older muscle cars. I not only love their classic lines but the love the owners put in to painstakingly restoring the cars to their former glory and the care they put into keeping the cars running and gleaming. So one of my great [...]

Compost Bin

I was raking the leaves and dragging them off into the woods. I was throwing away the last few pieces of [...]

Seed potatoes
We got our seed potatoes in from Wood Prairie Farms on Monday. I’m very excited about growing potatoes in our yard, I can’t stand most supermarket varieties. I must say that Wood Prairie Farms packaging is just gorgeous. It is so bright and colourful. I feel like opening the packages would ruin the pretty colourful [...]
Life
Skiing in Mid-April
Erin and I went skiing for the last time this season on Sunday. While flowers are blooming and grass is turning green in Southern New Hampshire, Sugarloaf in Maine (4 hours from home) still has enough of a snow base layer to be open for skiing. Although the snow is more like mashed potato slush. [...]

Our Poodle Puppy
We went to visit the puppy this weekend. At 7 weeks he’s already about the size of the cats. He’s a “cafe au lait” Standard Poodle. We think we are going to call him Cooper. I pick him up next Saturday. We really wanted to get an adult dogs but we had a very hard [...]

What Photography Means to Me
I prepared this post for my Tumblr initially but I decided to expand on it and make it into a blog post. So my apologies if you follow both. Sometimes when I’m sitting around bored thinking that my life has no excitement in it, I start going through my picture archives. I’m often astonished by [...]
