Moving away from friends causes some reconsideration for an introvert. Almost five months ago, on June 24th, we moved. It was an exciting time. We sold our primary residence, without showing it through a relator, and got the price we asked! Between April and June, we cleaned out, packed, finished odd jobs, gave things away,…
Part of our planned projects in moving to our cabin this summer on a semi-permanent basis was to finish the installation of a second full bathroom, another bedroom, and a second TV area – all in the lower level of the timber-frame dwelling we built in 2005. All of the work to finish the interior…
Since I’ve been keeping up with my daily blog on Medium and writing each night on my NaNoWriMo novel, I do not have a poem of my own ready today. Veteran’s Day. Thus, I went searching for one on Poets.org where you can find poetry in the public domain. In Flanders Fields John McCrae – 1872-1918…

When we went to Acadia National Park in September, we were enamored of the rocky coastline and beautiful sweeping views from mountain peaks, over forested areas, to the harbor and ocean beyond where we stood.

My blog for the day considers the changing night sounds in the forest. I hope you read it. Today, I posted on Medium.com. Visit my post, here. What do you think? Are you hearing less at night? If so, why do you think that is?
