Taking it (and the Lobsters) Easy in Midcoast Maine
How lucky to have had this week here in this rented place near the clam flats in Rockland, Maine. Especially with the home temperatures in Boston holding steady in the mid to low 90s. Today here on the coast? Cool and misty in the mid 60s. Yesterday here, Downeast? Warm and bright in the low [...]
A Family Visit and a trip to Martha’s Vineyard
What better reason to get the place a bit more put together than anticipation of a visit from family? Great to have mom, along with sister J and her family, up for a visit over these past few days. Escaping their Philadelphia area heatwaves of 1oo degree plus weather to the slightly cooler New England [...]
Gathering of Heavy Storm Clouds
There’s something wonderfully ominous about the way the early evening just darkened. The strong weather system finally coming through the southern New England area, hopefully to break this humid stretch of days. I’ve been waiting for it for pretty much the whole day, now. A forecast of possible small hail and a tornado warning. [...]
Memorial Day Weekend
You know it’s been a pretty good Memorial Day weekend when:
The weather’s been perfect, ranging from the mid 60s to mid 70s. Even a welcome short burst of heavy rain Saturday afternoon, causing friend C. and me to duck into stores along Centre St. instead of the planned walk around the Jamaica Pond. Trying hats [...]
God Makes it Hot Sometimes
Some pretty hot and humid weather these past few days… thankfully, a break coming with a cooler front coming in later tonight. It’s hard for it not to affect teachers and students in their still-aired classrooms. The lucky ones with fans, or the super fortunate ones (I met one today!) with air conditioning units.
One student [...]
When The Weather Gets Like That, You Have to Get In It
Feeling pretty lucky to have that back porch these days– with the electric grill primed up for use, the small patio table wiped down (man, all that pollen), and the potted plants–a hanging fuscia basket and a surprisingly healthy honeysuckle plant–rounding out the sense of home extended outdoors. A grilled dinner in the early [...]
Doing the Minuteman Bikeway
A great bike ride today with friend L. and a few others, literally taking the full day. Let’s just say that I wasn’t planning on the 55 mile ride that it turned out to be. Beginning from Jamaica Plain to Somerville, and then out on the Minuteman Bikeway to its end in Bedford, and on [...]
From Williams to Oatman, AZ
The weather seems to change so quickly here. And it makes the days you get that much better. The hard sounds of hail this morning with a cold front coming through. Making you feel all the luckier to have had the previous day of perfect weather for the Grand Canyon…and ready for [...]
The First Bike Ride of the Season
You have to love, and then feel the pain of, and then love again the first bike ride of the spring season.
A good meet up with former Watertown roommates for a late breakfast in Newton Center. Then pumped up the bike tires, wiped down the frame and went on my way this afternoon. Bright [...]
