Despite the lack of rain the garden is still a riot of color and we continue to harvest a variety of vegetables … and now the juicy, delicious pears are ready.

Pizza for 2
Date night in our own backyard: Why not enjoy our pizza oven and pergola?
Brew Pub and Pondering
We started the evening at Liberty Brew Pub for some good craft brew and wood-fired pizza.
Onward for a sunset cruise on Lake St. George. Life is good!
Schooner Sail with Peter
We took Peter on a short day sail on Penobscot Bay – his first sailing experience – for his 8th birthday. The most perfect day and conditions for a schooner sail.
He helped hoist the sails and became the Captain’s mate!
Lavender Love
Yesterday was the perfect day for a short road trip and saw the beautiful lavender fields at Glendarrgh Farm in Appleton.
“Pondering”‘s maiden voyage!
Our little “Pondering” took to the water on Steven’s Pond for her first jaunt.
Meanwhile activities never ever end at camp when the fearsome foursome are there!
Learning something new – Shibori and Indigo dyeing
My friend, Sherry, and I signed up for this afternoon class at Waterfall Arts. I had an ancient damask table cloth that I tore in to six serviettes and a narrow table cloth/runner. We had lots of fun experimenting with rubber bands, marbles, CDs, and more.
A Weekend with the Grands and Greats
Memorial Day weekend spent with the kids – lots of fun and high energy! A huge shoutout to Kat, Ian, Zach and Grandpa for laying the decking on the 12×30′ frame in 5 HOURS! while GG had fun with Colby and Lincoln; and Peter and Greyson spent time with their Aunt McKayla.
McKayla doing what she loves the most.
Fun times and birthday celebrations at camp.
Belfast, Maine gets better and better…
This town is the best! And now we have a legit market hall – United Farmers Market – in the old Matthews Brothers building – what a transformation and fabulous selection of food, goods and produce.
That camp life
We spent four days doing the “camp thing” and enjoying our new fireplace….
Cooking Indian
What better past time for a dreary, drizzly day than cooking an Indian feast? With Gunjan Gilbert as our teacher, Nan, Lisa, Jeff, and I prepared: samosas, naan bread, lamb keema, cucumber raita, aloo saag, chicken makhani, mint cilantro chutney and fragrant rice!
Winter 2017 recap
Winter will be over by the time we return, so had to post a few reminders of Winter 2017.
We enjoyed the serenity and beauty of Stevens Pond in early December.
Some very frigid days in December – unusually early for those temps.
The downtown area is always so festive looking with wreaths and lights strung across the streets.
The Annual Polar Dip downtown at the boat launch was relatively balmy – especially for one who didn’t touch the water!! Always fun to watch my crazy friends!
We get out for walks no matter what the conditions! After all, Lucy is a Mainer-girl!
January was pretty uneventful with very little snow. And then … the day before Valentine’s Day Blizzard!
Family Thanksgiving at camp
Our first family gathering – at Thanksgiving – at camp! Plenty of space for the kids to run around, roaring fire, board games, building forts and splitting wood outside, and delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Having fun with Snapchat!!!
