My neighbor across the street bought the house two years ago, and as luck would have it, happened into a fully mature perennial garden. It’s the kind of situation I dream of finding when I finally buy a house. Christina will admit to not being much of a gardener, but the garden has been in […]

So I officially live in the power armpit of Portland. We woke up with no power on Friday, due to the ice storm. By the end of the day, everyone around us had power back, except for my street. So, we stayed with friends in Westbrook for that night, and were pretty sure we’d be

We spent the weekend up in the Ellsworth/Mount Desert Island area. The definite highlight of the weekend was Saturday, when we wandered around Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The weather was incredible (though it was quite cold on top of Cadillac Mountain at 9 in the morning). The foliage was also just past peak,
