Spring is springing, although a bit early…
Posted by Admiral Peary House in Local Events & Attractions on March 26, 2010
We’re back from Texas and it seems Maine is trying hard to get into the spring frame of mind. We’ve had days in the upper 60′s and then some spring rain and of course followed by some light snow. However, unlike 2 years ago where we still had 5 feet of snow in the back, we have no more snow left in the yard. I want to clean out the flower beds and make everything look good, but this is Maine and we’re still not out of the woods (as it were) for freezes so the insulating leaves get to stay in place.
So, instead of cleaning flower beds I’m going to brew some beer this weekend. This recipe, my own, called, “Mad Half Hour”, is for the Samuel Adams Longshot contest. Then some more brewing next weekend, an attempt at a Bavarian wiess bier. Also have a few more bits of brewing gear arriving soon (don’t tell Hilary). My dreams of a kegerator are getting closer to reality. And for those that don’t know what a kegerator is, it is a dedicated fridge for my beer.

Flooding on the Saco
Posted by Admiral Peary House in Local Events & Attractions on January 27, 2010
This has been an interesting winter thus far. Not that much snow, bizarre temperature fluctuations and recently a bunch of rain. We ended last week with negative temps, -8F on Sat and 2F on Sun. Then up to 50F on mon with rain. This caused the Saco ice dam to shift the river a bit and flood the road between Weston’s farm and Sherman’s farm. On my way to work I thought I should test drive the new camera and see what the river was up to, much to my surprise it was up… a lot! I sent these pictures to the local NBC station and they showed them on the noon broadcast. Then Hilary trumped me and was interviewed (the link is on our facebook page) by channel 13. It looks like the road may be closed for the next week or so, therefore if you’re coming to visit, go via 302 not the East Conway road. Anyway, take a look and see what a raging Saco looks like.
