“That’s a big tree.” – Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park guests

Did you know the thornless honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos) that stands outside Aspet is the largest in New Hampshire? It was planted in 1886 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and has been growing ever since. A large tree placed outside a house Is helpful in keeping the house cooler in summer months because of the shade it provides as well as attracting lightening so it does not hit the home.

Good morning! Moose & Coffee with this gal. This cow moose was in all out feeding mode, nearly disappearing under the surface of the water while feeding on the water plants. Moose rely on their hearing to assess a given situation. They'll just cup those big ears forward and zone in on whatever is happening. Hopefully sharing these Maine moose photos makes us all stop and think just how special the Alaskan adventures are. I'll always cherish my countless days in the Maine woods, but there's nothing like the moose "rut" in the fall....Stay tuned!!

We have two versions of Calendars for 2022....message me for details.

We’d like to welcome all our new followers! Check out these fun moose videos with this link

As the MV Kearsarge cruises it’s last season on Lake Sunapee, and the new unnamed boat is readied to take its place, Leigh Schoch has created this stunning tribute to the steamship replica.
