New Hampshire, Month 2 in (mostly) Pictures

Adorable logo for the local professional disc golf tournament. Yes, professional.

Day lilies were in bloom everywhere

Quintessentially New England church steeple
Fog rolling down the hills to envelope the dam
The upper garden box was deep in bloom
Lots of old ghost advertisements in these parts
The blue hour with cocktails and mocktails
Absolutely not a speakeasy hiding behind the shoes in these windows
A remnant from the filming of Jumanji
Mushrooms popped up everywhere
The essential pre-hike photo of our route
Morning rituals: tea with maple syrup for me and French press coffee for Jeff
Milkweeds getting ready for the Monarch Butterfly migration
A sign that visitors seem to never see. Gates close at 7PM!
Pulling weeds along the road that crosses the dam
Trail marking cairns atop Mount Watatic in Massachusetts
Stone walls are both beloved and ubiquitous in New England

Pearl Crescent (Phyciodes tharos)
And this Large Localized Reaction to end out the month.

Two wasp stings within two weeks caused Jeff’s oversized allergic reaction. Since we’re often hiking and in zero cell service zones, he’s now a member of Team Epi-Pen, just to be safe. The medications cocktail he’s on at the moment to bring down the swelling, fight any infection, and manage the itching is really something. It’s not how we would have chosen to celebrate the end of our 11th month living in the teardrop trailer, or two months volunteering with the Corps of Engineers, but we didn’t get a vote on the situation.

      Haha It’s fairly gruesome, isn’t it? Thankfully it appears to be improving.

      Thank you, thank you! I’m enjoying this way of sharing some of the photos I’ve taken but which don’t really have much of a story to accompany them. I’ll pass on the well-wishes. It looks like his sting reaction has made the turn. It still looks frightful, but getting less so.
