Trees, Plants & Flowers

Every morning, rain or shine, we get our bug gear and rain boots on and hit the trails back in the woods on the property. We also bring our coffee with us and I have my camera, of course. Even though we walk the same trails on a daily basis, we have been experiencing a […]

It will be six years this week that we moved to the great state of Maine and we haven’t looked back once. We left Florida with everything we owned and our three cats, one of which was diabetic with pancreatitis. It took almost four days to get here. It was an extremely difficult and long […]

The morning after our first big storm, I looked out the window to witness a stunning winter wonderland before me. This was especially exciting, because the combination of frigid cold, ice and snow had left the most beautiful snow-covered trees. As an added bonus, there were partially cloudy skies and little wind. I knew I […]

The day before our first big snowstorm of the 2018/2019 season, we experienced a full day of freezing rain. As a result, the snow that had fallen stuck to the trees very nicely.

We’ve had quite a cool spring season this year here in Maine. As a result of this cold weather, the blooming of a few types of flowers have been delayed. The following photograph are from what we have growing here so far. I have planted many flower seeds over the spring and hope to share […]

These plants thrive in sunny areas and prefer well-drained soil. The flowers are showy and often grow in intensely bright shades of red, orange and yellow. These flowers as well as the young leaves are edible […]
