Escapade – Episode 3
Back home. The cat is waiting for us, for our presence and the treats. Even if he was not allowed to go out during those days he surprisingly doesn’t run outside, but stays around us as we empty the car. “Are you really staying here with me or this is a trick and you’ll runContinue reading “Escapade – Episode 3”
Escapade – Episode 2
From Cobscook we turned back to our steps direction to the South but stopped at the Columbia Falls. Although the campground is not located directly to the sea, it has the particularity to propose unique ambiances, from Tepee to wooden triangle huts, as well as big camping slots for groups or families. This small businessContinue reading “Escapade – Episode 2”
Escapade – Episode 1
I finally took a few days off. As we all know, vacation time can be challenging. This year I wanted a lot: be happy, rest a bit while making something different from my daily routine. I didn’t want to drive far – I am the only driver – , I didn’t want to organize complicatedContinue reading “Escapade – Episode 1”
Dans les jardinières*
It was a few weeks ago already, but it is still in my mind as if we had adopted a family for a short while… A pair of Black Phoebe decided to install their nest around our Geranium. Strange location for a safe place, especially because I was watering extensively the garden bed… but itContinue reading “Dans les jardinières*”
Frozen lake
Evening walk. I thought I could climb again on top on that mountain. As I arrived at the beginning of the trail the snow was quite high and crusty, the sun was getting down, and the temperature was already very cold and decreasing… Walking was difficult, even helped by the prints of two pairs ofContinue reading “Frozen lake”

Despite the bad weather of this winter, I have tried to hike as often as possible, and I shall say my regular ascension to the top of the closest mountain has always been an experience: although I know the path almost by heart, the trail is each time so different that I am always excitedContinue reading “Walking on a cupcake”
Anniversary
This post is the 147th one. It has been exactly one year that I begun this blog – Nov 17, 2019. I can’t believe I am so able to write down my thoughts regularly, and the most surprising is that I am able to post them! We are all writing posts, letters, complains and thank-youContinue reading “Anniversary”
Champagne!
Do you remember this feeling of warm air coming in your face when spring arrives? This warmth that suddenly reaches the depth of your body and regenerates your soul? I promise I was sober this morning, I didn’t hallucinate : it came 3 times during my walk. Aren’t we supposed to get snow at thatContinue reading “Champagne!”
Mornings Q
I couldn’t run during the all quarantine at home. I injured slightly my ankle in Singapore and that got worse the first day I came back in Maine. So I decided I needed a break from running, and my outdoor workout was to climb on the top of the closest mountain, going by feet allContinue reading “Mornings Q”
