Roaming About
A Life Less Ordinary
Category: Hiking (page 12 of 12)
It has been nine days already since the Blogging from A to Z Challenge finished and I am finally catching my breath again in regards to blogging and other things in life. The month of April was focused around getting some traction for my Roaming About blog, writing daily and about a certain theme, and incorporating a few other events.
Severe snowstorm in Newburyport, in April!
The most important change in Mark and my life, was our move into another house, with a new dog. Continue reading
Day 7 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge – Thoughts on Being a Nomad
Nomads can get around in as many different ways as there are kinds of transportation. You can travel as fast as a plane or as slow as your own walking pace. My favorite way of getting around depends on the situation and the location, and I usually end up picking the most practical (and affordable) choice available.
Arriving in Tahiti by plane from New Zealand
… because I missed Wordless Wednesday yesterday
… because this photo deserves a blog post
… because it sums up the good times we had, hiking the dogs we pet sat for three months (we will miss them)
… because tomorrow the “Blogging from A to Z Challenge” starts, and that means a bunch of words every day! 🙂
Resting on the top of a hill with Henry and Mickey
It was a cold Saturday in March. Since it was the weekend, Mark and I wanted to take the dogs we are pet sitting for a decent walk in nature, as usual. An area we had not checked out yet since being here for almost three months, was Lake Waramaug.
Only a 15 minute drive away, we found what some call the prettiest lake in Connecticut. Continue reading
I will miss this guy!
(Submitted to Wordless Wednesday)
A little while ago, last year’s sitters of our current house and pet sitting assignment in Kent sent me a list of their favorite parks and hikes in the area. One destination Mark and I had not checked out yet was Lover’s Leap State Park.
On Saturday, the weather was right (a sunny 50°F) and Henry and Mickey were in the mood to join us (when are they not?) for another walk. We followed the GPS directions to Lover’s Leap in New Milford. Of course, I had forgotten to write the address down from my research on the computer, so we blindly trusted the computer voice in our car. My laid-back mentality about things like this will get me in trouble one day, but not yet. Continue reading
Walking to a pond with dogs and without coats!
The Berkshire Mountains in Connecticut
Mark and I had been living in the “foothills of the Berkshires” for almost two months, barely noticing those geography defining Berkshire Mountains. Sure, each time we drive from our house sit to the town of Kent to run errands, our ears pop and we don’t need any fuel to reach the bottom of the road, but the cold weather, sometimes gray, sometimes snowy had not allowed us to walk up to any viewpoints during our weekend outings with the dogs. When the sun set, I could often spot what I thought to be a purple hued hill top in the distance, through the barren trees around the house. I wanted to stand on top of one of those hills… Continue reading
