Calendar of Events
How do you know that you live in a hidden harbor of the “Vacationland State?” When you visit the state’s tourism site and beginning sifting through the calendar of events. (This week my task is to create a good list of events within a two hour radius of Searsport Shores). If you just look at…

Read MoreWalking the Beach
There was Spring in the air today…I heard more chickadees and phoebes than I have in months, the ground smelled warmer and the goats hung out on their rooftop soaking up the sun…I hope this isn’t a cruel joke… J.J. the hound and I walked to Moose Point State Park… This is what we saw:…
Read MoreGovernor’s Conference on Tourism, 2010 The Maine Experience
Tuesday I went to the tourism conference in Augusta…mostly to see friends I catch up with only once or twice a year…but also to hear industry gossip and be lectured on the latest Tourism trends. I learned that when a poll was taken of people who thought about coming to New England, 68% of respondents…
Read MoreWinter Hike on Ragged Mountain
After a stretch of gray, sort of warm days, we’re back to the bright blue skies that characterize our January/February months…actually one of my most favorite times of the year.

The storm came out of the Southeast…it started raining in the early hours and didn’t stop for 48 hours…it was warm and there were times I thought for certain we’d find our sky lights and roof shingles scattered across the playground in front of the house. Sunday morning we had enough snow for a good…
Read MorePlanning for September
This week has been the launch of Fiber College 2010…we’re looking for instructors to teach the approximate40 classes that are always held the second weekend of September…if you’re interested…click here for the invitation…remember that if you can combine teaching (or vending) with your camping trip…it all becomes a tax write off 😉 In my world…
Read MoreGray, soothing skies
It’s the second day of monochromatic winter…everything is in shades of gray from early morning until there’s no more light in the evening…funny how during these days the nighttime sky is brighter than the one we look at all day. But there’s fresh snow on the ground, now cold winds and we’ve been skiing around…
