Coming back from the Steampunk Festival I passed by this huge antique place and decided when in Rome… Immediately upon walking in I was greeted by two stuffed bears. I squealed with glee and was caught by the shopkeep, an enthusiastic teenage boy, who I immediately roped into my madness by asking to take photos… Continue reading Simple Graces – Antiques & More – Dexter Maine
Well! As it turns out there’s a bunch of things going on in Maine I should really be up here for so last Thursday I packed up my car and braved five hours of dragon’s breathe (fog) to get to central Maine. I’ll be up here for a couple weeks…. getting into trouble and whatnot.… Continue reading Steam Punk Craft Fair and Festival Dexter Maine
Today I drove out to two covered bridges – one on Stowell Road in Merrimack NH, the other was the County Farm Bridge in Greenfield/Hancock. Both were bridges you can drive over that have no place to park so you can see them – this didn’t stop me. Even though they weren’t pedestrian bridges and… Continue reading Stowell Road & Country Farm Covered Bridges
Today was such a gorgeous day that I felt like spending a bit of it haplessly wandering. I had decided to go in the direction of a covered bridge and see if there was anything else interesting along the way. The other thing interesting turned out to be an enormous plant nursery I have passed… Continue reading House by the Side of the Road Plant Nursery – Wilton NH
Recently I decided I should start going to more extroverted places on the weekend, maybe quirky little mom and pop shops, museums, or festivals, leaving my more isolated hikes into the woods or cemeteries for weekdays. There’s always more things to share about New England after all! Every time I feel like I have scraped… Continue reading Tiny House Fest – Brattleborro Vermont – 2018
I suppose it’s time to write about my terrible clusterfuck of a day yesterday. I had decided that morning I wanted to go to an exotic pet store and spend the afternoon getting stock images of lizards, fish, and birds, anything they may have. I write for a lot of places besides this blog and… Continue reading Tophet Chasm – Littleton MA
About a week ago I was asked to do a group trip, which I am not adverse to, that would be somewhat local and appropriate to bring a four year old. So I thought the sculpture garden in Brookline might be the ticket. I had heard there were all sorts of large sculptures nestled in… Continue reading Sculpture Garden at The Andrea’s Institute for Art – Brookline NH
So after my little Polar Cave adventure I decided I still had a little time to do something more appropriate for an adult, perhaps a good old fashioned hike into the woods? I had noticed signs coming up for “Quincy Bog” and I’m a bit of a sucker at stopping at bogs, mostly because I… Continue reading Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire
This morning I decided to go out for another adventure and it occurred to me that I have yet to see any caves in New England. I wasn’t even sure if we have any caves but a quick Google search landed me at the Polar Caves in Rumney NH, which is about two hours away.… Continue reading Polar Caves – Rumney New Hampshire
I finally got out on a little adventure today! I had tried to do so last weekend but I ended up driving by a lot of really crowded trail heads and noping my way home, not that there’s anything wrong with popular trails, I have just been in a very introverted mood these past few… Continue reading Thumbs Up and Harriskat Trail Loop – Hancock NH
