Or is it daze?
Paul had Monday and Tuesday off from work. Monday we visited the recently renovated Currier Museum of Art, which was lovely. We saw, among other things, pieces from some of my favorites; Monet, Hopper, Sargent, Parrish, Wyeth, Remington, and Alma-Tadema.
As we’re planning to move to the Concord area, we spent Tuesday driving […]

We had a busy day today.
This weekend was the Milford Great Pumpkin Festival. This is the third time we’ve gone, and so far last year was the best. I don’t know what was missing this year, except maybe our energy. We were both very tired, especially Paul who worked overtime all week. It was also […]

Yesterday was my birthday. Don’t ask me how old I am, ’cause I’m not telling. Okay, okay I just turned 22. No really. I’ve been doing that for many years now, so I always know how old I am.
We went for a drive to Peterborough, a picturesque little town to the north. We stopped at […]

My friend Kim had a few of the ladies over to her house for a tea party this afternoon. At each of our place settings we found a keepsake bag of mints and mint tea, and a posie with a fortune in it. A fortune posie, rather than a fortune cookie. Kim put on quite […]

Yesterday we spent the morning in Lowell Massachusetts at Cawley Field. Our good friends Stephan and Ellen have two kids that are in the high school band. The band held an open rehearsal, gave a performance and provided a cookout afterward.
It was really hot and humid, but we had a great time anyway. The band […]

When we were living in Rhode Island, I worked for a while in Providence. Among the things I found fascinating about the city were these masks.
They adorn the side of a building that houses the Trinity Repertory Company. When I first saw them I thought they were Janus Masks, but they are identical. Perhaps whoever […]

After lunch today, Paul and I decided to go out and look for trouble. So we played a round of mini golf followed by a visit to the ice cream stand. That’s about the speed of trouble we are interested in these days.
It was a bit warm and hazy, but there was a slight breeze. […]

Again with the hiking.
Well, it is a great way to get some exercise after lunch. This afternoon we walked the Mayflower Hill Trail here in Milford. It’s a nice easy walk through the woods, and the highlight of the trail, Lookout Point, offers a lovely view.
It’s been really nice to have this time to […]

After lunch today, Paul and I decided to take a stroll up the trail through Hitchiner Town Forest.
Everything is so unbelievable green and fresh right now. I know it’s because of all the rain we had recently, and all the unfortunate flooding. What is not good for homes and roads is very, very good for […]

Alpacas, Llamas and Angoras, Oh My!
We went to the Hopkinton Fairgrounds today for the 30th Annual Yankee Shepherd Fair and Alpaca Fest.
There were many sheep, alpacas, llamas, rabbits, border collies and a goat or two. We watched a sheep dog competition and training demonstrations. When Paul and I get a house and some land we […]
