A hundred yards from the aptly-named Bittersweet Falls Road, the Beaver Brook cascades over a formation of marble and dolomite to create a beautiful 18 foot cascade. Above Bittersweet Falls, the Beaver Brook cuts a deep ravine through layers of black slate. The gorge can be difficult to traverse without…
Sarah announced today that she was going to do a “365 project” this year: taking a photo every day of the year, both as a journal and to force one’s self to get out and take some pictures. This sounded like a fun idea and one that would be easier…

A few roving thunderstorms last night gave new plants a much needed drink. The flowers below are “Bleeding Hearts”, a beautiful surprise to find in the beds our first spring in this house.
Today we received an unseasonably late snow-storm that has left us with several inches of snow on the ground. We woke up this morning and were greeted by the first several inches of heavy, wet snow clinging to branches during a lull in the storm. After accidentally letting the cat…
