Day 37 of At-Home Quarantine and Still the Very Busy Office

I try not to look at the calendar as it brings everything to reality. For this blog, I will say that I have been on home quarantine now for 37 days and I will continue until COVID is under control. I understand that compared to the rest of the world and in many places in the country this is not very long.

My Family believes that Green Woodlands is one of NH's best kept secrets, and I wanted to share some information on this remarkable place so others may find enjoyment

For Winter use and skiing there are several warming huts along the trails that offer a warm wood stove and hot chocolate which is appreciated...

"A mile from any neighbor," boasted Henry David Thoreau, referring to the location of his cabin along Walden Pond—a description equally applicable to the distance of neighbors to this Shingle Style mountain residence. 

That's where the comparison ends, however. Hardly a rough-hewn cabin, this 5700 square foot Arts & Crafts residence on three levels features classic lines wit...
