Zealand!

In the past month, I’ve:

  1. Purchased, and moved into, an adorable house.
  2. Married the one-and-only Stranded Dog.
  3. Welcomed a new puppy to our little home in Newmarket!

She adores chasing grasshoppers, snuggling with her stuffed octopus (his name is Charlie), and giving kisses. She’s also great at exploring – the photo above was taken at the top of Cathedral Ledge in Conway. She’s not a climber yet, but we’re getting there.

A big thank you to the Manchester Animal Shelter for helping us find Zealand! This wonderful shelter does amazing work and deserves your support – whatever it may be!

Bounty in Town

What a gorgeous ship.

This weekend visitor is currently docked (for the weekend) in the Merrimack River, down the street from my Newburyport apartment. And although the swarms of tourists are irritating … the ship itself is pretty impressive.

And the backstory is pretty cool, too. Check it out.
