So Eggciting!
I’ve been a bad blogger. Like so many others I read, the late summer beauty and weather has taken me captive and kept me away from my computer keyboard. My outdoor hobby’s have rendered me completely blog blocked! I am here now though with a few updates and announcements.
First… I am extremely giddy with excitement over our newest addition to our family. In 2 weeks, I will be picking up our new…. Silver Laced Cochin henS. Thats right, I said 2. Its nicer to introduce both at the same time. I will be sure to show you pictures!

The Brady’s Go to the Mine
Recently Dave and I have gotten back into a outdoor activity that we have always enjoyed, we have started hiking together. We are planning some big hikes up a few mountains this month so we have been training for it by walking as much as possible. I really think hiking is the only form of exercise that I can do without getting bored. Before I know it, an hour or 2 have gone by.
When we first purchased the land at Shmoopywood, some of the neighbors had told us about the abandoned mica mine at the top of our mountain. I have always wanted to go up there but I [...]
“Smile”- Alan Funt
Remember a few weeks ago here when I explained that we had purchased a trail camera and were putting it in different places throughout S-Wood boundaries to see where the deer were? Well the last time we were up there (weeks ago) we placed the camera on a sturdy but half gone tree facing a small clearing. We chose this placement because we had seen moose prints crossing over this area.
We set out yesterday to swap memory cards in the camera so we could come back and view the card and then set out to possibly retrieve the camera. If when we got back to the cabin [...]
Here Comes The Sun!
Sometimes I just start writing without knowing where it goes. Others I compose the whole entire blog entry in my head in the middle of the night and upon waking I rush to the computer to document it before I forget what I wanted to tell you guys. Then there are those times that I know I want to communicate with the world but I just don’t know what to say so I just say “hey world, this is what we did today”
SO guess what kind of blog-day today is?
Today Harry and I decided to skip being responsible, stop worrying and do what we want to do. So we woke [...]
Untamed Beauty
One of the reasons I love to go to s-wood so much is because of the lack of people and industry. I dont mean that we hate people but the crowds and industry take away from nature. I grew up near Boston so I am not used to seeing wild flowers just popping up randomly on the side of the road or in my driveway. S-wood is in a rural area and each home has its own character and story to tell. Just like the people in the homes.
here are some of the wild natural beauty that was spotted this weekend…
