Maine 'born and raised', relocated to the Connecticut River Valley a few years back. Living urban, thinking rural.
I love the beach, gardening, the firepit in the backyard, camping, reading, writing, and hanging out with family and friends over a cup of coffee. I also love going to dinner with my hubby.
