We also enjoyed time at Plum Island after a hurricane blew through. The waves were huge and the water was much warmer then it's usual frigidness; we realized the hurricane brought warm water from the south.

Hiking and Mt Monadnock
Ehren and I went on a good day hike up Mt Monadnock in September. This was training for our big presidential climb (which we are postponing a few months). We took the longer, trail less traveled route as we have never seen so many people at a mountain before. There was a park ranger directing the parking, reminding us of fairgrounds.We had a good afternoon on the mountain and got down just as darkness fell.

Camping on the Saco
We recently spent a long weekend camping on the Saco river in Maine. The river was just on the other of the bank at our site and Ehren enjoyed watching the sunrise over the water in the morning (while I was sleeping in:) )
We took a 5 mile paddle down the river and enjoyed floating along and watching the wildlife.
(Sorry about the confusing layout of the pics, it arranged itself differently once posted!
On the last day before we left, Ehren hiked a small mountain in the same town. As it was 90 and I was low energy from being sick, I stayed at the foot and read. He had some nice views, was able to see the Whites across the border in NH.
We enjoyed our relaxing weekend on the water. We hope next summer to take a several day trip kayaking down the river as there are sandy banks that people can camp on overnight.
Our river at home, which we haven't kayaked on yet... but we will

Our New Home!
We have now lived in our new home for 3 months and are nearly settled in. (We still have about 10% left of the boxes to unpack). Thought we'd share some recent pictures.
The front of our place
Good sized living room and kitchen. We love the hardwood floor and the rooms are so light filled! I did take these pics in the evening so it's a little dark. I love the big bright kitchen with windows. One of my wishes had been to have a window over the sink and here I have one plus the french doors. (We move the bike out onto the deck when we have guests over).
Our backyard. The previous owners had used landscaping stones in the yard and when we bought it, it was so bare! I have very much enjoyed planting flowers and found a new love for gardening. We've been able to add some color to the yard in the last couple months.
We also have a fire pit which we look forward to trying out. (That's more soil for planting behind it)
We had initially bought several hanging baskets of pentunias, but have discovered that our yard is much shadier then we initially thought and petunias love sun. At the local greenhouse, we were introduced to Fuschia, a shade loving hanging plant.

We are loving our new home and as I'm sitting here in the study overlooking the backyard, I'm watching oriols and goldfinches flit around the yard. It's very peaceful.
