Family walk in the Paskamansett woods

It finally happened - a trail walk with a dog, all together, like a family.

If you know me, you know that I own a barking dog. Moreover, he uses his barking talent mainly in the car.

Therefore, we, or rather I, take him in the car only if absolutely necessary - to the vet or to a shelter. And yes, sometimes I take him for a ride with me.

We planned a family walk to the forest on January 1st. The trip did not happen. Daniel couldn't stand Crackle's barking, especially in the enclosed space of the car. It's really loud.

What happened on Sunday? Or rather, how did it happen?

Two calm down dog treat-pills, my patience of a saint and two different cars. And voila! The three of us are in the forest, well, not counting the rest of the walkers.

The pills didn't help. Maybe they should have been fed to the dog earlier, maybe more of them...

even making a stop in the park and a short walk didn't help. It took us a while to find the right place where we wanted to walk.

There are many different hiking places and trails in our area. There used to be farms there... Now it's probably not profitable to keep farms.

Some wooded areas of land have become part of the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust.

The park, where we went on Sunday, is called Paskamansett woods.

The vast majority of the trails are on private land and are open to the public only thanks to the generosity of the owners.

I didn't take any photos, though I took a short video of Crackle for his Instagram.

We walked for about an hour or so.

Do you think the dog barked on the way home?

He didn't bark, just whined.

Crackle had an attack of barking already near our house gate - he saw a man with a dog across the street. As you understand, the man meant nothing to him, the main irritant was the dog.

God, help me to survive my dog.

Four days and Three nights of Vacation in Vermont

I love going on vacation, but I love coming back even more. I'll tell you about the most remarkable activities for me. I will try briefly… We spent one night out of 3 in a tent. (We actually planned to have 2 nights in a tent, but the weather decided for us). We visited Sugarbush Farm and Billings Farm & Museum, stopped at a store selling sheds and cottages, looked at the cider production process (Woods cider Mill), met with a representative of the company that will drill a well on our site, and asked questions to city officials. And, of course, we admired the beauty of the season. It’s a pity that we couldn’t stop on the highway for photography. At this time of the year, tourists travel to Vermont and New Hampshire specifically to admire the foliage. Daniel heard about the town of Woodstock even before the vacation. Therefore, we began to look for sights that can be seen there. As the first attraction, Google gave us The Sugarbush Farm. Google says: “ Rural...

Old New Year

Do you know what day is today (Jan 13)? Russians celebrate the Old New Year on the night of January 13-14. How did it happen that Russians celebrate the New Year twice? Simply by adopting a different calendar. Of course, it was not really simple, but after the October Revolution (1917), the Bolsheviks switched from the Julian calendar to Gregorian one. Because of this, all the dates moved 13 days ahead. The year 1919 began on January 1st but in accordance with the new Gregorian calendar. The Julian calendar was 2 weeks behind the Gregorian one, as a result of which the celebration of the new year was postponed from January 14th to January 1st. The Old New year isn't an official holiday. There are definitely no people who would remember the old calendar. Russians, by definition, like to celebrate holidays. The more reasons to celebrate, the better. The Old New Year is usually less festive. There may be no more gifts under the tree. Many Russians will wait until t...

The 36-hour Day

October 20, 2013. I was flying to America towards my unknown future. The unknown future did not frighten me absolutely. On the contrary, it was incredibly intriguing: how will my life turn out, where will I work, with whom will I make friends? I didn’t have questions like “Will I be able to get accustomed?”. The question was: “When?”. Like many Russian women I’m hardy, determined, and purposeful. The main thing was not to get lost on the way. The trip was long and inconvenient. I wasn’t worried about geography, I just picked the cheapest tickets. I flew from Tomsk to Moscow, then to Los Angeles and then to Boston. I have never in my life traveled abroad. I was very nervous about the long trip. I was not afraid to fly. But all these security, take your belt and shoes off, cell phone out of pockets, endless lines, navigating in big airports. Leaving Tomsk was easy from that point of view. I will not touch emotions though. Moscow At the Moscow ai...
