A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

Sunny, sunny days
Sunday, 5 July 2009 7:53 A GMT-05
The sun peeped out of its hidey hole on Friday morning, around 9:30am, after first giving us a repeat of the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that; a cold, dreary, thick fog, followed by a torrential downpour. Our house h

Friday, 28 March 2008 12:36 P GMT-05
In anticipation of the weather, I took the week off. In past years, the last week in March has been the ideal sugaring time, mixing the below freezing nighttime temperatures with the above freezing daytime temperatures which bring out the

It's been snowing here in Washington.Whenever they forecast snow anywhere in the great State of NH, we here in Washington NH get it. It might not be snowing anywhere else but it will be snowing here. So the BIG BAD STORM which "p
Fields of Gold

Labor Day is a day for laboring, right?The last part of making a field, before we dig more holes into it and stick trees and shrubs on it, is to seed it. Left alone by itself it will of course green up with all numbers of plants, but not pretty
August

Saturday it was too hot to exist. We finally broke down around 6pm and decided to go find an air-conditioned restaurant far enough away so that the air conditioning in our car would have time to cool us down. That night we gathered all the fans
April Snows Bring May...
Friday, 13 April 2007 6:03 A GMT-05
Winter is still not done yet, and we're halfway through April. I love it.Supposedly another storm is making its way over here and, depending on the temperature, will either be massive amounts of snow or massive amounts of rain. Either

Suddenly the only people who are happy about our colder than normal April are the ski areas , and me.Even the sugar producers are getting angry, complaining about the sour winter and forgetting that this time last year the daffodils were actually bl
April Snow
Thursday, 5 April 2007 6:12 A GMT-05
Normally I'm done with winter when April 1st rolls around, even though historically we get at least one snow storm after the official beginning of spring. But since Winter as an actual climactic phenomenon didn't start until February, I

Despite the panic that yet another snow storm caused us here in the Granite State, (can you believe it?) the weekend was well represented. We welcomed the snow, even though the resulting colder temperatures froze all of the sap we'd collec
As Maple Leaves

We're one of the few in the area that have actually tapped our trees, oddly enough, since the weather for the past two weeks has been perfect. But this week will plunge back down into the subfreezing range which will stop the flow for a while,

Here I am, contemplating the old should I or shouldn't I? That is, should I attempt to drive down the mountain all the way to work? Or should I not do that?

Oh my gosh! Can you believe it? A second snow storm is on its way to New England! Two whole storms! In winter! Somebody quick, declare a state of emergency!!

You'd think we'd never gotten snow before. Oh that's right. We haven't.
Before the storm even started, school cancellation

How fickle we are!
Just a few weeks ago we were all complaining about how we weren't getting enough winter to satisfy our needs. Yesterday I actually heard someone try to claim it was "unseasonably" cold. "Unseasonable&q

We both drove through actual snow to get home last night, and it was still falling silently when we went to bed. It didn't accumulate much, maybe two inches. But that's more than we've had in ages, especially snow which didn't freeze to a

We have a TARM wood boiler and a 900 gallon heat storage tank down in our basement, and this services all of our hot water and most of our heat, excepting those occasions when it get so cold the wood runs out in the middle of the night or we go on va
Blame on El Nino
Monday, 8 January 2007 6:54 A GMT-05
It was 70 degrees, and eerily sunny, at our house on Saturday.
The phenomenon of El Nino complicates the Global Climate Change debate, as it excacerbates the weather pattern trends and causes havoc every year we have it. Some news media outl

It's frustrating to live in what has become the Seattle of the Northeast, especiallu when there is obviously plent of white stuff to be had elsewhere. That same storm is aching to come over my head, but is getting forced out by a persistent hig
Small World, After All

Having geared the U.S. up for more of the same punishing weather we got last year, it turns out hurricane season has ended with nary a peep. I'm sure the Bush Administration is breathing a sigh of relief. See? That wasn't bad.

It's another cloudy day with rain in the forecast, and it's been dark in the mornings again, and I don't like it. I also don't really approve of the warmer weather, though it certainly extends the life of our wood supply downstairs. It's

Hey look! Snow!
Well the good times had to end sometime. Most likely the stuff falling on my still torn up lawn won't accumulated, but still it's a sign none of us should ignore: the winter season is upon us. Pick up your toys and
Bluster and roofing
Monday, 30 October 2006 6:42 A GMT-05
Friday we came home to find the roofers still working, well into the darkening evening, frantically trying to get the half-done roof ready for the Big Storm which was headed our way. It figured that there would be a big storm before the ro
