Why yes, it’s April now, and I’m just getting crocus. This winter has completely sucked. While we didn’t get that much snow (last year’s blizzard made that winter worse snowfall-wise), I don’t ever remember it being this cold, and I have a working recall of winters here back to the early 80s. Thankfully, we seem […]

My company outing was last week at Fort Williams. Naturally, it was the one rainy day in the otherwise gorgeous stretch of weather we’ve been having. But, I am from New England, so I even find stormy weather beautiful.

From around the neighborhood. These were actually taken on the 15th, so a number of them have now gone by.
Yesterday was Maine Lighthouse Day, where a number of lighthouses in Maine that aren’t normally open to the public are open for free. It’s a day we normally manage to be out of town for, but this year, we made sure we were actually around to take advantage of it. We made three stops, all
