Earlier this spring I promised to post more regularly, and then life happened! We traveled to New England last fall when COVID restrictions were lifted, but didn’t share photos of that trip. It was short and mostly visiting with family and friends.

Then over the winter and spring, COVID got worse and we didn’t travel again until the weather got warmer and things felt a bit safer after vaccinations ramped up. Here are some photos from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont this summer.

Another reason for the pause in blog posts is a significant transition coming soon. I posted 2 years ago about the “moving ring-binder” getting hauled out again, and it’s back! This means selling the house, going through belongings for charity shop donations, packing, setting up new utilities, etc.

It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to move, and many tasks are on a deadline, if you want electricity available in your new home. We also upgraded several aspects of our current home this summer, from a new back deck to insulation and siding.

The scenery in upstate NY is beautiful, yet it was refreshing to see the seacoast in Massachusetts and Maine, along with lakes in New Hampshire and Vermont. I’ve finally realized that I’m more of a country person than a city person. I appreciate the perks of living near a city, and having access to cultural institutions of music and art, but at the end of the day, give me nature, bird song, and quiet.

It will probably be a while util the next post, complete with photos of a new location. I’m starting a job, so that will keep me really busy, on top of unpacking and getting to know a town near the ocean.
