Love this prehistoric-looking snapping turtle in coastal Maine! We watched it until it was headed off-road towards a lake. #turtle #snappingturtle

I still can't believe it worked! We grew peaches! They don't look perfect and the raccoons got too many, but they're juicy, complex, and delicious ♥️ #peaches #byoc #gardening #homeorchard

Officially, this is a Juliet tomato, my grandma's fav cherry tomato. The kids call this variety a Can of Tomato Juice b/c they like to bite off the top and suck out the marrow. I call it Taste of Summer. #gardening #tomatoes

The peas were so hard to get started this year - I think I replanted 3x 😱 But now the sugar snaps have been going strong for 6 weeks!

Our guidebook says this is some kind of Greater Fritillary butterfly. The zinnia is a pink senorita. Lots of butterflies zooming around rn #zinnia #gardening #butterfly

The West Penobscot River was a great family-friendly river canoe camping trip. This spot, Big Island South, had an amazing view upriver and its own Bald Eagle!
