Bowles Family Blog: Fiddleheads, finally!!!
http://csbowles.blogspot.com/2013/05/fiddleheads-finally.html
Friday, May 3, 2013. Major spring events in New England include listening for Peepers (tree frogs), seeing buds on the maple trees, and the emergence of Fiddle-head fern shoots in the woods. It's been a long, cold spring here (everywhere, it seems); we are at least two or three weeks behind normal. So, it's certainly good to see those fern shoots. It's about time!

Bowles Family Blog: Spring Perennials - Beautiful This Year!

Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Spring Perennials - Beautiful This Year! UPDATE - June 20:. The deep red peonies always bloom later than the others. But these, too, are especially vibrant this year. A cool, wet spring means the perennials are especially beautiful this year. And the blooms have lasted a long, long time. Here are some pictures:. Our rhododendrons have really begun to naturalize in the woods. And Sue's very bright orange poppies are stunning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sharon, NH 03458.

Tuesday, January 1, 2013. New Year's Day - 2013. A New Year's tradition from Chet's family: Black-eyed peas, greens, and cornbread for health, wealth, and happiness in the new year. Everything was especially good this year. Here's hoping for a good 2013! Chet's mother would be very pleased. We re-seasoned the cast iron pan she used for cornbread sticks. They cooked evenly and all came out of the pan perfectly (she *always* had problems with this pan! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sharon, NH 03458.

Monday, July 15, 2013. A beautiful new moon hanging over the lake to the west of our cabin. A cloudy night, so we felt lucky to see the moon at all. But, if you look closely, you will also see a planet (Venus, I believe) to the right of the moon. A very pretty sight. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sharon, NH 03458. Send email to Sue and Chet.

Bowles Family Blog: May 2013
http://csbowles.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 25, 2013. Some of my earliest memories are of going on hunting trips in the woods near Liberty, MO with my grandfather (Robert Earl "Dad" Bowles). He loved to hunt, especially squirrels, and always used this vintage shotgun- it is a Marlin lever-action .410 gauge. When Grandad died in 1968 all of his guns, including the shotgun, went to my uncle Dick. And when he died, the shotgun went to one of his sons, my cousin Barry. But Barry is not a hunter and was happy to send it on to me.

Bowles Family Blog: September 2012

Thursday, September 6, 2012. Brian and Max recently got to spend a week at the cabin- it was great to have them there. During his stay, Brian experimented with all sorts of photography techniques, including this time-lapse sequence of a sunset. It was taken from the porch of the cabin using his iPhone with a time-lapse app. Pretty neat! Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Labor Day Weekend - Mooselookmeguntic. And here is our view of Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bowles Family Blog: November 2012
http://csbowles.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. I see these things fairly regularly in our woods- they are called Witches' Broom. Often on oak or birch trees (we have lots of both), they occur when a mite or rust causes multiple branches to grow from a single spot. Found this one as I was chipping up trees and decided it should be preserved for a while. Lotta Chips from the Chipper, Chet! Finally, Sue (bless her heart) moved the chips to the pathway in front of the house. Dual purposing at its best! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, November 25, 2012. Lotta Chips from the Chipper, Chet! Recently, during the the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, a large white birch fell into that same mess of trees. It was quite visible with its bright, white bark which made it an eyesore that everyone could see. I had to deal with it. The chipper worked flawlessly- it handles branches up to 4.5 inches. Anything bigger went into the pile of logs to be split and burned next year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sharon, NH 03458.
