Another Post with Flowers

Posted on August 20, 2015 by Julie-Ann Baumer

Down to Land’s End

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Julie-Ann Baumer

I’m on deadline this morning, writing an article for the Lewiston Sun Journal.  The piece will run on August 23, I think.  Maybe it runs on August 30.  I had a set Sunday article schedule, but then August had some … Continue reading →

The Demolition Derby

Posted on August 10, 2015 by Julie-Ann Baumer

It was another “fill it to the brim” weekend in Maine.  For me, the 48 hours (more or less) begins on Friday at around 4:00 p.m. when I go to my farm share.  It’s a peaceful way to begin the … Continue reading →
