both of those for a one-night stay but it's nice to have in chilly weather so doggies can have their heated After a relaxed morning we head to the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport. Other buildings are self-guided; there is much to see, read, and explore. In fact, too much for us to read all of the signs, photos, etc. in the timeframe we had. After our time at the museum, we head inland to Hallowell and then to Auburn.

Before we head off to sunshine, warm weather, and beaches we go to northern Vermont for a work assignment We had a lovely campsite for the evening in the Vermont countryside. The last time we had only two pets was in 1990. Since that time, we had up to seven cats at one point. It's time to get the mobile condo cleaned, organized, and packed up and head south. 🌴🌞

Earlier in the season, we had to take the windshield off just to make it through. Projects slowed under the weight of the heat, but we kept at it—watering by hand and carving out time Once we’re back home, it’ll be time to stack firewood, put the gardens to bed, and head back into the

of Occoquan, with its gas-lit streets and charming old buildings — a perfect little side trip before heading From there, we headed south to Virginia Beach for a conference in Norfolk. Next up, we’ll take the Lewes Ferry over to New Jersey for a quick visit with family before heading home

Oregano, lavender, and tarragon have all had their first harvests and are now hanging to dry in the barn at the cottage while reconnecting with local friends, and it was wonderful to catch up before they headed Moses heads back to Florida in early August, so we'll miss our regular get-togethers until next year.

Instead of heading back home on RT 89 as Whiskey has done hundreds of times we went south to Brattleboro From this location we headed to Colchester for an overnight stay at a farm which is part of the Harvest Once that assignment is completed, we head toward the ferry to go across Lake Champlain. We had a tasting of four. So, we decided to head home because it was only late afternoon, and we were just two hours from home.

2019 that we bought in the fall of 2018, and while it’s been good to us, it needs attention before we head After that, we keep heading south until winter is no longer part of the conversation.

As with sourdough boules and batards, I read several recipes and watch many YouTube videos before attempting Coffee, and I gather around the kitchen table for lunch and catch up on project status and or hearing The last picture shows the wood cookstove multi-tasking by boiling sap, heating our space, and warming One more month of this then we are headed south toward palm trees, sunshine, and the beach. Thank you for reading and watching!

We started in New Hampshire, headed up to The County in Maine, crossed northern Vermont, dipped into Ginger and I teamed up on the menu ahead of time, each taking on a few dishes, and the meal came together Thank you as always to everyone who reads, watches, or follows along.

I, Wine, was busy in the kitchen clearing out the fridge and making a few items ahead. Stay tuned for our upcoming adventures as we head down the east coast.

For this trip we allowed our big-headed bulldog to ride up front in the cab for the first time. The heated beds are really nice for doggies. In addition to the heated dog beds, we have a heat mat and rug to cover most of the floor. Whiskey suited up and headed out to do his work assignment while I prepared breakfast. After the work was done, breakfast consumed, and doggies walked, we put on a podcast and headed back

I was intrigued by the tiny fireplaces located on the first and second floors, obviously the only heat Read about it in the links below and decide for yourself. No indoor plumbing meant outhouses. Being that it was a Friday and want to avoid traffic we head right home afterwards.
