I guess you could say this piece of the blogosphere documents a time in my life when I was slightly batty, totally single, and had a lot of time to form opinions and share them. Not much has changed (I've added a few people to my personal life, so "totally single" can be changed to "alone only when I am in the bathroom").A new look was needed. No offense to Blogger, but my new site is hosted by

Such a long time between posts! It must be summer in Paradise! (And I must have a life, after all.)Between houses, camps, and tents...Wisconsin was two weeks ago, and I flew out there in a Piper Comanche with mssrs. Meade and Russell. If only a few things stick in my mind, surely the characters of Gunny and Wilbur bear repeating. Gunny is a Marine in his 40's, built like a fire plug and with

The past week was busy, insanely busy, all in the pursuit of happiness. I went to Monson Pond with my favorite people and met a lot of the relatives. Then we dropped kids and flew to Wisconsin. I will surely post pictures when I am back on my own computer. Right now I am waiting for dinner at camp and I want to talk about food.Best food at CousinFest: shrimp and pasta. Oh, how yummy. The

Camp. Mmmmmmmm. No more summer school (although I am taking a grad course, but let's not think about that now).Just so you get an idea of Paradise, let me describe camp.You arrive after taking tree-lined route 11 to the Fire Road 9. A short paved road leads to dirt, and you cross the railroad tracks. Trains still run daily. Across the tracks, more dirt road, edged with voluminous prickly

I am a night owl. I appreciate the morning, I like the afternoon, but my brain functions best at night. I've been known to rearrange whole rooms of furniture after midnight. Whatever. I'm a woman.Summer is not my favorite season, because my night-owl tendencies are overwhelming and my general desire is to stay up quite late and sleep in. However this summer I decided to teach, and my

One of my all time favorite pictures. Papa was getting a big award from the Cooperative Extension. We ate at the Whitneyville town building. They actually served hot dogs and beans. You have to love the Extension. Pops deserved the award. He did a great job when he worked for the Executive Committee. He was the president. I am very proud of him.

I took this picture on Ken's farm, in spring '04. This is when Mom started her goat craze, phase 7. She's been doing it a long time with breaks in between. Anyway, I like the way this goat looks.

Mom will probably not be pleased I hijacked her hard drive and went nuts on Hello. But look at her. She is a great mom, grandmom, gardener, shepherdess, quilter, and she bakes a damn fine carrot cake. On occasion she even grins in a goofy way.

This is a classic picture. Me looking very official in front of Colby's bus. I represented the town on this day--showing up at 6 am with the rest of the crew (see last August's archive). At this year's town meeting we discussed the next steo in the Colby saga. Stay tuned for details.

Yesterday I drove two hours to go jump in a lake.It was worth it.This morning, drove two hours to teach summer school.Maybe not so worth it.Next Thursday I move to camp for the rest of the summer.Definitely, worth it.

My friend came over today, and stopped for quite a while. His name is Ryan. I just realized that today is Ry's birthday! So this is for him. Billy. (We always called him that, I don't know why.)I met Ryan the first day I moved to Maine. My brother and I were unloading boxes in our new, cavernous barn. We were 9 and 11. Ryan was 8. He was shooting rubber bands at us. We made friends in

It's sunny...and raining out. I am on rainbow alert.July is a great time of year in Maine. I worked in my flower beds today. They haven't grown in so much that weeding is impossible. Now the beds are cleaned out, new flowers put in (I am addicted to johnny jumps) and small bouquets cut. I miss the days of walking in the field and picking armfuls of flowers. Those days will come again.This

Today I faced what seemed an impossible task and set about to tidy up the barn.The barn is attached to my house, accessible through my walk-in pantry. When I first moved to the house in August of 2003, the former owners promised a clean barn. Well, when they left and I took occupancy, the barn was still full of crap. I guess that's what happens when all you do is drink and sit around.The house

I am co-existing, at this point in time, with a domestic cat and a fairly wild raccoon.My other cat, who has always been a bit of a chicken in spite of the fact he still has his balls, won't come near the house.The raccoon, however, is a complete smart-ass and only comes around when I am sound asleep.I caught him, tonight. In the act. He ambled up the nearest tree and stared at me. As if to say,
