At the time of the summer solstice, lupines stage a spectacular show all over Maine

Our “garden house” is showing signs of age.

Announced this week: Miss America contestants will not strut onstage in swimsuits this year. 

Our “Miss Maine” of 1964 is “thrilled!”

Memorial Day in Maine is the official start of summer.

My love of lilacs has taken me, in the moonlight while stealthily clutching clippers, behind Bradbury’s Market in Cape Porpoise, into a neighbor’s backyard in Kennebunk Beach, even into churchyards when I lived in northern New Jersey.

Remembering Mom.

As the snow melted, the old gang returned.

It’s not only Arbor Day — it’s National Something Day!

The former First Lady leaves a legacy of cherished memories in the Kennebunks
