I have not been very good about maintaining my website and continue to fall behind in my posting. I have no excuse. But we are here in NewMahket where ‘nuttin continues to happen.’ I have about a hundred and fifty pictures to parse. We are on the cusp of our first winter storm of 2019 […]

We spent two days on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). We were part of a bird watching club on the Maasdam which was chaired by the on-board Naturalist, Martin Cohen.

Hurricane Willa transformed into a Nor’Easter for us. It is a wild and woolly day out there and we got more than an inch of rain. Fortunately it is blowing through rather quickly. We did get quite a bit of rain and a very high tide. We did get the pasture mowed the day before

We decided to take a day off and go on a whale watching tour out of Rye Harbor with Granite State Whale Watch. The day had a slight overcast and the night before a storm blew through the area. As a result, the morning was slightly rougher than the afternoon. We got there and exchanged
