More and more I think I'm a New Englander. I've spent most of my life here and this is the area that feels most like home to me. I've lived in the South and now live in the Midwest and, while they have some nice spots, New England is most familiar. I love the history, the attitude of the people and I love the area. It's so amazing, small seaport towns that haven't changed in hundreds of years, beautiful coasts, deep forests...Someday I will move out west and maybe settle down for good there but I feel like I'll always be a displaced New Englander.

This town looks like Martha Stewart's wet dream. The house we're in has a frog pond, barn, an apple tree, pear tree, a garden full of veggies and the woods right behind us goes on forever.

I miss writing my book. The first day here I went and got a pad of paper and spent much of the next day writing thoughts and ideas in it.
