*My buddy, Max, has zero problem pronouncing Jamie & Hudson, but New Hampshire and Leslie totally throw him for a loop. Instead, we are New Hampster and Wessawee! And I love it.
We did it!!
3000+ miles across the country in this big yellow truck.
View of the back of our building.
It's been what the locals call an "unseasonably warm" with a record 28 days over 95 degrees. Because our new home doesn't come with air conditioning, I'm forced to believe this is an unusual occurrence. Every attempt has been made to survive the first extraordinarily warm weeks: sleeping downstairs, getting a powerful fan, drinking gallons of iced coffee, hitting up the movie theater mid-day, and taking cold showers (me). Our unpacking has been frustratingly slow because I haven't wanted to lift a finger, let alone move things out of boxes. Little by little, it's getting done and we're settling in nicely!
In the meantime, it's been fun to explore our new 'hood.
The New Hampshire version of "shopping".
only stores east of the mississippi
Loads of farmers markets, but the stands are so super small!
Baskets of 20 tomatoes, 8 stalks of broccoli, etc.
Small-scale farming....weird.
Delicious, crusty bread (note: 8 loaves).
Forget learning how to knit.
Can't I just wrap one of these around my neck?
We discovered some great wood-fired pizza.
Found our local post office and held mail.
And some days we just sit and stare at how large the sky seems here.
These two have been LOVING all the sunshine
All of my target and old navy clothes are madly coming in handy as I haven't lived in weather above 65 degrees in 5 years. San Francisco hasn't prepared me for this many days in a row of sundresses and tank tops! It's been borderline spectacular (aside from the being-sweaty-all-the-time thing).

yikes no AC?! Hope it cools down soon! 3000 miles in a moving van doesn't seem like fun but you made it look fun!! Not surprised though :)
no AC? i can't say that i am surprised. it is NH after all. soon you'll be snuggled under down blankets.
i love everything about this post so much i can't even gather my thoughts to comment intelligently! SO PRETTY! love your new place, love your backyard, love the pizza and veggies and ll bean and everything.........
yay for a change of pace. I hope that you are under a down comforter soon. to prove the sweating in the hot, statement.
wow what a change of scene from SF. It's so pretty there! I bet fall is really lovely there, you'll have to find a pumpkin patch and go apple picking - it looks like that kind of place. Hey, maybe you can do some gardening in that big yard next year and have your own booth at the market?
ditto to trish. i am getting all giddy thinking of you getting all settled in and acclimated to this WAY different place! it looks absolutely breath-taking. i soooooo want to come visit!
