A Brief Visit to Chocorua

Tulip and I are in Chocorua for a few days, opening up the house and establishing the gardens--also fighting the ferocious black flies! Both Tulip's eyes were swollen yesterday from bites she got while faithfully guarding me while I planted basil--and my neck is full of itchy bites. But they say that soon these tiny monsters will disappear, to be followed by the more easily swat-able mosquitoes. Ahh, New Hamphire in the spring.



But we did find two changes--the remade bridge between the little and the big lakes--artistic yet sturdy enough to meet the town's safety standards.




And the window in the upstairs bedroom--when that's finished and the new cellar entrance is painted, the roof fixed where the chimney was and the staging removed, it'll finally give a whole new look to the backside of the house.
