Valley Falls Heritage Park

Image
This morning's walk with Lisa - just over 4 1/2 miles through Valley Falls.  The highlight - Heritage Park.  Though some maintenance is needed with overgrown shrubs and peeling paint on railings, the views are gorgeous.                                                                             Cumberland Town Hall The weather was perfect for a brisk pace with as many hills as Lisa could find.   And so many beautiful flowers in so many yards! The early afternoon was spent returning extra materials to Home Depot, both of us buying new sneakers and of course Walmart (bread and tp!).  An abbreviated quiet time then a bit of landscaping before dinner, showers and a movie.   Hopefully we can finish the landscaping tomorrow and spen...

National New Hampshire Day

National New Hampshire Day.  A great state that has given us many happy memories.                                        Paul during a snowmobile trip late 1980s.  Check out the moon boots!                               A random chicken on the back of a random horse in the middle  of nowhere, New                                                             Hampshire as seen during a night snowmobile ride.                                                ...

Our Tambourinist

Image
 While we were working hard, the kids were relaxing in Rangeley.  Brianna has begun her career as a tambourinist!  Love this kid and her energy! It was a beautiful morning in Lincoln to work.  Cool with a nice breeze made the job so much nicer.  Our goal - set as many sono tubes as possible before Scott came to assist with the cement.                                                     Scott and his time saving, easier on the back cement mixer!                                             Our first few were a bit wet and required stakes to remain                                   ...

Happy Birthday Scott and Don!

Image
 Happy Birthday Scott!  Have a wonderful 25th year!  Love you! Happy birthday Don!  Enjoy your day and your weekend! Maddie was our supervisor today in the yard.  She is so happy in the sun while we were trying to work in the shade and avoid the hot sun.  (Yes her leash is attached to a tire and yes she still manages to drag it when tempted!) My goal - to finish the last front yard garden.                                                                                       Before                                          After.  I was two bags short on the mulch which we purchase...

Bonus Day!

Image
 My favorite September 3rd photo:                                                                                Gypsy 2018 (best dog ever!) The torrential rains this morning meant we had time for errands.  Another trip to Lowe's then Home Depot (saved $30) and Tractor Supply for bolts.  Coming out of Tractor Supply - SUN! Lunch, quiet time and then with everything mostly dry - back at it.  Paul began digging holes for the fence posts.  Thankfully the tractor does all the dirt removal.                                             The first holes along the right side of the house went well.   ...
