Dream's End


View Larger Map

Each year, around the end of October, I join 3 dear friends; LC, SF, & CMc-G, at this lovely cottage at the end of Sagadahoc Bay Rd. for a long weekend of wonderful company, good conversation, beautiful views, great food, lots of laughter and, of course, love.

If you somehow missed all the hubbub about The Blair Witch Project, then you may miss just how great this video is!

Raspberry Cream Dream

Ingredients

  1. 1 fresh banana
  2. 2 frozen bananas, broken into smaller pieces
  3. 2 cups of frozen raspberries
  4. a splash of water

Directions

  1. Stick it in a blender that’s got the guts to handle a few frozen bananas, and just wiggle, plunge and shift those ingredients around until you get the most incredibly smooth, sexy and gloriously red creamy wonderfood!
  2. Ahhh…
  3. Let it slip into the most gorgeous bowl you have, procure yourself a dainty spoon and proceed to lose yourself in the ecstasy of a whole new kind of comfort food.

Struttin' yer stuff


Why has this image become associated with Thanksgiving? Turkeys breed in the spring!

This lovely fellow is in my dooryard. They (he and the females) are very skittish. If I move past a window they cluck/pop off and run for cover. I had to shoot this very surreptitiously.

I can hear him right now, gobbling out in the field behind the house. A Ruffed Grouse was drumming across the road this morning. The thrush are back, and a Northern Parula warbler has been gleaning bugs from my wood pile for several days.

I wish I never had to go back to work. And I am sure no one has ever wished that before.
