Back on November 11th, I was all set to get this reminder of a childhood tree post done on both my WordPress and Hive blogs, since this is a bloghop hosted by my WP blogging friend and it was supposed to be the next edition. However, not too long before I was ready to publish... Continue Reading →

Just like last year, I'm posting a ghost story to participate in the @hivebuzz Halloween Trick or Treat badge. And again just like last year, I'm telling a tale from my days in the mid 1980s that I was a tour guide for the Hammond Castle. Yes, I grew up in a small town in... Continue Reading →

This past Tuesday, we got hit with an unexpected (at least, I didn't hear anything about it) Nor'easter. After a handful of power flickers & cable outages, we quickly realized the intense rain storm was a bit out of the ordinary. We were very lucky that even though the one of the biggest power outages... Continue Reading →

For my last Sublime Sunday post at the beginning of the month, I shared some rainbow photos. This time around I thought I'd share some of the bazillion photos I took of the recent full moon on October 20th, 2021 and run a couple of them through the Deep Dream Generator again - hence the...

Four weeks ago, I did a Thursday Tree Love post showing some little bits of autumn color peeking out in the woods behind our house. Two weeks ago there wasn't enough of a color difference to warrant revisiting the woods, so I did a throwback post instead. For this edition, not only did I get... Continue Reading →

I had grand plans of putting together a post over the weekend, talking about our 32nd wedding anniversary this past Thursday (October 7th). I even discovered a brand new Hive community that I thought would be perfect to try out for the occasion. But even though I wrote the post at least a half dozen... Continue Reading →

It's hurting my brain a bit to realize that I haven't done a Sublime Sunday post since May. It's probably around the last time I used the Deep Dream Generator as well, so for this post I'm sharing some photos of a Double Dreamy (in both that it was a double rainbow, as well as...

PLEASE NOTE: Since my WordPress blog went wonky on Thursday, I posted this Misty morning woods blog first over on my Hive blog and now that my blog is back (hopefully - it's been offline twice in the past two days), I'm resharing it here today. In theory, I've tweaked it so that it makes... Continue Reading →

I knew the weather here today in New Hampshire was going to be rainy with a side of wet, so yesterday afternoon I took advantage of some moments of sunshine to wander around in the woods behind our house. While last time for Thursday Tree Love I shared a tree already changing color, here in... Continue Reading →

The idea for this Thursday Tree Love post about the tree that signals the end of summer popped in my brain a few days ago, as my husband and I were coming home from shopping. As we came around the corner of a road not too far from our place, I noticed a tree was... Continue Reading →

Yes, I'm doing something a little different for this Thursday Tree Love post - I've put together some old and new photos in memory of a tree branch. A very special tree branch, which was part of a long dead tree and has made many appearances here on my blog, usually because of the many... Continue Reading →

July has been an interesting month, to say the least! I planned to sit down yesterday to do this post to share a couple of unusual visitors who stopped by over the past few weeks & helped make things interesting (the aforementioned crayfish & the bear), since it also happened to be my birthday (fifty-six,...
