    A Place to Sit…

    …out of the dirt. Building a simple floating deck can’t be too hard, right?

    Putting the boards down

    Provided I master a few tools and a little patience.

    Look at that! A quick tap o’ the hammer, and we have a lovely place to view the stars while resting from all the deck construction.

    Spring South Part 2: First Spring

    After some decent sleep and a decidedly southern breakfast, Scully was ready to adventure.

    Right away Kiki found an old friend…

    …and we were off to explore the backcountry.

    Give Kiki a quick flex

    The views in the Blue Ridge Mountains did not disappoint.

    Soak it in...

    And neither did the early signs of spring.

    It had been a minute since we were camping together, but it sure didn’t feel like it.

  • Spring South Part 1: Getting There

    Spring South Part 1: Getting There

    Provided you love winter, there’s only one NOT fun season of weather in the north country. It’s called MUD season and it’s truly awful because when several feet of snow melts you’re left with a sloppy mess that attracts an unending supply of biting bugs.

    This year I was determined to escape and seek out an early spring. But first, a stop in Keene to assist with a little studio work and to visit with friends.

    Bright and early on a chilly 23° morning, it was time to bundle up and head out!

    It's 23 degrees and we're off!

    Kiki got DUCKED at our first stop…

    Already ducked

    …and soon we found our first signs of spring. They wouldn’t be our last.
    At Scully’s request, we stopped to smell the grass.

  • More March Snow

    More March Snow

    Somewhere under there is the wood from seven large trees that needs splitting.

    There's a lot of wood under there somewhere

    Believe it or not, this snow is melting a bit… or maybe my ruler’s broken.
    From too much snow.

    It's actually melting

    But I’m starting to think this snow ain’t gonna melt itself.
    Where did I put that hair dryer?
