Winter in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire

Top o' the morning' to ya all Irish or not!

There's nothing like the first signs of Winter. It is truly the wonder of nature unfolding each and every day.  Winter here in New England is Skiing and Snowshoeing time. You can smell the  clean fresh Winter air all around you,and see the lSnow haning from the trees.  This ol' gardener is up and thinking about Snowshoeing and Skiing now. The days are getting shorter,and the nights are getting colder. It's time to get up and out early in the morning. Time to get out and shovel the new fallen snow.  It's time to bring in more wood in and get ready for more snow. It is also time to have some fun. Here in New New Hampshire we have Gunstock Mountain with it's many snowshoeing and skiing trails.




COME ON UP: This is the time to start Skiing,and  hiking the mountains of New Hampshire. We hope to see you on the trail! GREAT!!!



Now is the time to see the all the animals running about the woods looking for food for the long winter months. You can see the deer prints, and droppings on the trials in the snow. The early morning brings the sound of the turkeys in the distance or you may see a fox or two. Just before dark or in the early morning you can see turkey's marching in a row in search of food. If,you look real close you see the squirrels stealing bird seeds from the bird feeders. Again listen closely and you will hear the turkey's in the early morning hours telling us that we should be ready for more snow. In winter the animals will tell you when the snow is coming. When you look all around you will see you will also smell the wood burning in  peoples homes.   There is something very special about winter in New Hampshire.

 


All of this and more is the beauty of New Hampshire in the Winter.

We welcome you to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire to see and enjoy the beauty of the changing season of Winter in New Hampshire. For more on Winter sports in New Hampshire go to our Lake Winnipesaukee home page listed above.

Dear CONGRESS:

DEAR CONGRESS, Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my family and I can't decide on a budget. Until we can come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our checkbook and we will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I'm sure you'll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example that we can all follow. Do you agree?

Show your friends how much you care. Tell this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. You may even make more friends

Hiking

Hiking started  for us as a family vacation. We started hiking as an entire family. We have now spent the last 25 years hiking the mountains in New England. We started with a book called Hiking the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

For us, there is only one purpose to go Hiking,and that is to enjoy the  beauty of Mother Nature..
A person hiking for the first time can very well be recognized the minute we see him from his approach, climbing up a 6,000 ft mountain with only a bottle of water in his hand. He or she is dressed in shorts,.shirt,and sneakers.  In 5 hours as in is getting dark,he or she is lost. People call for help all the time because they are not Prepared. to hike a mountain. Even a short 2 mile walk in the woods can be dangerous,if you don't know what you are doing.
.
Though this picture is a bit amusing, this is true for many people who start hiking.

My  advice to you is.spend time with nature, Have fun!. Breathe the fresh air. Watch the formation of a cloud.  Going for a hike,and  breaking the  rules, is a waste of time and engery. It may also cost  you your life.
Be Prepared
You simply cannot forget regarding your safety since it is said that hiking is all meant for fun.
For free tips,and information about Hiking go to the web site that is listed.

Welcome to Spring time in the Lakes Region on New Hampshire

Top o' the morning' to ya all Irish or not!

There's nothing like the first signs of Spring. It is truly the wonder of nature unfolding each and every day. This ol' gardener is up and thinking about planting those sugar snap peas, spinach,broccoli and cabbage. The days are getting longer,and the nights are getting warmer. It's time to get up and out early in the morning. Time to get out in the yard,cleaned and ready for the comming of Spring. Soon we will be planting all the new flowers again..
You can smell the maple sugar boiling at the near by sugar house. The Ice has  melted on the big lake. The birds are singing a happy song to welcome Spring.

It won't be long now 'til we see all the animals running about garting new food as the Spring day get warmer,and warmer. You can see the deer prints, and droppings on the trial. The early morning brings the sound of the turkeys in the distance or you may see a fox or two. Just before dark or in the early morning you can see turkey's marching in a row in search of food. If,you look real close you see the squirrels stealing bird seeds from the bird feeders. Again listen closely and you will hear the turkey's in the early morning hours telling us that we should be getting ready for the warm weather of Spring. Just today i was listening to the rought Gross(bird) fanning his wings to invite the femailes to mate.

As the weather continues to get warmer there is more and more work to be done. It's time to get that compost pile cooking again. Yes you will need that compost for all our Spring and Summer Plants. So spring into action,and lets all get the work done before it's gets too hot.

It's Spring,now in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Its the beginning of june, and the wood has to be cut and put away for next winter.  We have lots of Free Organic Gardening information on our web site.http://pfijalkowski.net/crazypetesorganicgardening
