Northern Nights 11/03/2009
The time has changed-a practice that I completely detest-and this is what the sky now looks like at about 5:00. I still love it, with the light trying to come through at the treeline (bottom of the picture) and the clouds taking on the colors of blue and black.  Halloween & Foliage Arrive 10/10/2009
  In this first shot I'm actually taking a picture of the cat and pumpkin on the window and it came out with both my own reflection and the foliage reflected in the background-much cooler than what I had intended. The second shot is our front door. I bought the witch at Reny's Maine Adventure on our family trip. RB thinks it's really cool that she flew into the door and got smushed there (my story). Below are the boys playing on the porch and the side of the lawn.   One Morning in Maine 09/27/2009
This post is not about Robert McCloskey's book, but about the sunrise that I waited for on Saturday that never came due to the fog rolling over the pond. Still got some great shots, and some later shots of both the pond and the river.      Signs of Fall 09/20/2009
Aidan and I were playing in the gravel pit this evening that my mother owns, which also happens to be next to my sister's house. Here are some shots that show definite signs of autumn on the horizon.     Visit with Grammie & Grampa 11/22/2008
Aidan got to play at his grandparents' house, showing off his mechanical expertise (G already has RB pegged as a future race car driver, since he's small, and Aidan as his future mechanic or pit crew chief)    More Pasture Photos/Late Fall Photos 11/18/2008
One of this year's calves; ice already forming across the road; Aidan thinking that he can outrun me back to our house.    Weekend Family Time 11/16/2008
The weekend actually began with a rainy Thursday night. We got pizza and rented Madagascar so the boys could see the characters from their Happy Meals. Also, I dance around the house with them-we all wear different plastic pails on our head-singing, "I Like to Move it, Move it", so they love that tune.     Tot Time at the Community Center 11/13/2008
RB and Aidan went to the community center for tot time yesterday. RB was so exhausted that he took a three hour nap. While Aidan wasn't that tired, he also volunteered for naptime after lunch.    Enjoying the Beach Before Winter Sets In 11/05/2008
The boys needed to learn the difference between soft sand and wet sand when it comes to making sand castles, but they didn't need any instruction when it came to throwing a ball back and forth or throwing rocks in the lake.       Apple Picking 10/05/2008
 LB took her SATs yesterday morning, so PB and I took RB to pick apples while she was in testing. He really tried to be helpful, but did trip a couple of times on all the apples on the ground. Then he found his true love-dogs-and apples no longer mattered. | Our family tree-roots, blossoms, weeds,
GB loves morning glories, so this blossom represents him 
PB is sweet and dainty, but also hardy, like the mountain laurel 
This blue sweet pea is unique, like LB 
This lotus blossom is beautiful and mysterious, like YB ArchivesNovember 2009 Categories |
