Mountains to be conquered

I know. I know I said I would post more often. First I moved to Vermont for the summer and then I just got busy doing...I don't know what, but I didn't make time for this blog. There were seedlings to be planted and hiking to be done and pictures to be taken. The first picture here is Mount Abe in Lincoln, VT. 4,006 ft. Not quite as easy a hike I was expecting for the first one of the year, but I guess we started strong!

My Blogging Style

I decided that I can't keep up with a blog if I expect myself to write long and insightful entries - Those are more of a once in a while thing. I think that a picture that I've taken and a blurb about that picture is what I like best and what I am capable of doing.



I am currently thinking about where I was a year ago today - Costa Rica. Best tax return ever. What do I remember most about it? The smells of the ocean intermingling with the thick spicy air. The welcoming and smiling people. The delicious food, fresh bread every morning and the best fruit I have ever had. The sounds of the tree frogs and bugs after a morning rain shower. Oh Costa Rica, you have left a mark on my heart.

It's starting to get to that point of spring when I actually like this season. The grey trees and the mushy ground are gone and in replacement there are beautiful budding leaves and bright green grass. It is picnic season. And reading a book on the porch season. And being oh so appreciative of the outdoors season.

A blast to the past

Last year at this time spring was on the horizon and we were in Portland, Maine. I miss a lot of things about Maine. The food, the ocean and above all the people. One great memory of mine from hundreds of great memories is wrapped up in this photo.

Long time no see. Look at me!

While I was gone from the blog-o-sphere I made really yummy pizzas...




...And I learned how to knit. See, I made a beer cozy!



A couple other big things that have happened:
I finished my first semester of library school (Yay) and I got an internship this summer at the Fletcher Free Youth Library in Burlington, VT (Which I am really excited about!)

Second semester of this program is wrapping up, so it is that busy time again. Cramming in group meetings, working on projects and essays, and trying to keep sane. I am really going to try harder to keep up with this, I would love to document my summer internship and all my other adventures.

Until next time...
