My husband I are new gardeners attempting to transform the gardens of our first home. We live in a log cabin on +10 acres of woods. With the help of my husband's parents aka Garden Maven we have been able to lay out trails and choose plants. Everyone needs a little help now and then so this blog has been created as a personal reference for gardening in South West New Hampshire.

Moose on the Loose

Moose on the Loose


We live in a swampy area of New Hampshire. Every time Aaron and I drive by the swamps we keep an eye out for Moose. It was sort of a joke between us because we hear all these stories of people hitting Moose with their cars but we didn't actually think we would see any. Many of our blossoms and veggetation has either dissapeared or has been slept on my a large creature. We thought... big deer... black bear... porcupine... racoons... etc. but not in our wildest dreams did we think that Moose were on the loose in our yard. On Sunday, Aaron was doing the dishes and making dinner when he was shocked to see a female Moose standing just outside our kitchen window. He yelled for me to get my camera and I was able to capture this picture just as she began to walk towards our driveway. We were told and suspected that our property was a popular through way from the open spaces behind our property to the open spaces across the street. We've seen all the other wildlife but this was way cool!

New Flowers

Our previously eaten Black Eyed Susan's are back! This pictures if from a week ago and we have three times the blossoms today. They are a wonderful contrast to the little field of green.
