Wildflowers

Forts of the Piscataqua River
In the interests of finding new and different things to do on a Saturday where we have nowhere special to be, the BF came up with the idea of making a list of state parks, and trying to visit as many as possible this summer. So we started this Saturday, at pretty much the southernmost

Weekend
I spent most of this weekend down in MA. The main purpose of the trip was a surprise party for my friend L, who is moving down to TX for grad school in about a week. She had managed to figure out that something was going on, but was completely surprised by how many people
