Artisan’s Market – Deer Isle Maine

Well! I had quite an adventure today! I ended up in Brooklin Maine, attempting to visit family, but I got there five hours before her shift ended so I did what I always do, I grabbed a few unsuspecting passengers and went on an adventure! I had heard several people say IĀ hadĀ to go to Nervous… Continue reading Artisan’s Market – Deer Isle Maine

Roller Rink Antique Mall – Pittsfield Maine

Another day, another fantastically unending antique mall, filled to the brim with anything and everything my twisted heart could desire. This shop used to be an old roller skating rink but now hosts a great number of different vendors. In typical Maine fashion you will find lots and lots of random junk probably collected by… Continue reading Roller Rink Antique Mall – Pittsfield Maine

Hudson Museum – Orono Maine

After being laid up for two days with a migraine I was just about crawling out of my skin this morning, desperate to go somewhere, anywhere. Iā€™m still in central Maine with my mother and sheā€™s still none too keen on going for a hike in 85 degree weather soooo I offered to bring her… Continue reading Hudson Museum – Orono Maine

Fairfield Antiques Mall – Fairfield Maine

Since I was already in the area cooing at my submersible friends at AquaCorals, I decided I would stop at an antique mall just down the street. I was told by locals it was huge and would take me at least two hours to rummage through. They were not kidding! This was an enormous building,… Continue reading Fairfield Antiques Mall – Fairfield Maine

House by the Side of the Road Plant Nursery – Wilton NH

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

Sculpture Garden at The Andrea’s Institute for Art – Brookline NH

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

Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire

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 ā€œQuincy Bogā€ and Iā€™m a bit of a sucker at stopping at bogs, mostly because I… Continue reading Quincy Bog – Rumney New Hampshire

Hollis Town Forest – Hollis New Hampshire

Today was a gorgeous day for wandering! So I hopped in the car and started to drive randomly in a direction I decided upon earlier. I had no specific destination in mind and was just enjoying rambling down a bunch of rural country roads until I came across a trail head. It turned out being… Continue reading Hollis Town Forest – Hollis New Hampshire

A Quick Winter Update and a Reminder Spring is Coming!

So I admit I didnā€™t get out much this winter but I still have been busy figuring out what to do with spring once it gets here. I have scheduled myself to visit more ruins, castles, haunted places, light houses, quirky one-of-a-kind mom and pop shops, perhaps a few farms, as well as more nature trails and museums. Who knows, I might even indulge in another passion ā€“ food! And to add to the excitement I am expanding to my repertoire of photos and writing with my very first video! I am hoping future videos will include interviews with more interesting local personalities, or at least with more subject matter than just me blathering on! ENJOY!
