The snow came early this year and it’s sticking around (9″ at last count). But in New Hampshire fresh snow with temps in the single digits is just another excuse for outdoor fun with the dogs.

And of course, we had a wonderful time with friends at a very New England-y thanksgiving gathering…

Mario Bava is definitely the inspiration for our interior Halloween decor this year. Oh, who am I kidding, we go for the Bava look anytime we can…

The bats are pretty cool, but it’s the powerful LED spotlight that really transforms the dining area.

And of course, Terror Fest continues. (Don’t look out the window if you scare easily!)

In other news, we saw our first light dusting of snow last week…

Time to break out the skis! #BecomingNewHampshire

Temps are dipping into the 30s at night and the crisp smell of leaves is everywhere. Fall has once again arrived in New Hampshire. If there ever was a time of year to visit the White Mountains, this is it. The colors simply defy description.

And even though Ruby Jean looks ready to go explore, there are very few camping days remaining. Of course, there’s always winter camping…

Time for a little local back-country camping with my best buddy.

And suddenly it happens. You’re all loaded up and ready to go. After a cozy dinner on the porch of course. (Gotta eat, right?)

Then it’s time to put someone in charge of navigation and decide where you’re headed.

And if you happen to start driving through a torrential thunderstorm (with a tornado!?!)…

…stop and enjoy dinner! The storm will pass.
