The Church of Music in Nature is Again Open tag:blog.familytreehouse.net,2010-05-02:297eadbc-8991-40f3-8f6e-e27ff875d0e6 Gene Vogt 2010-05-02T15:55:00Z 2010-05-02T15:55:00Z The Church of Music in Nature is once again open. We had our “Inaugural Service” for 2010 yesterday (May 1st) and will continue when possible through until sometime in October. So what’s “The Church of Music in Nature” you ask? It’s actually something quite simple, almost trivial, but I find it immensely pleasant and occasionally quite moving. We have wired our deck for sound.

A New Kind of New Year's Eve tag:blog.familytreehouse.net,2010-01-02:bbcc4e2c-4ac1-488d-8a8a-1b5ff4fce3da Gene Vogt 2010-01-03T03:59:00Z 2010-01-03T03:59:00Z It was a pleasant New Year’s eve up in Maine at the Ballot Box, but the threat of snow kyboshed our New Year’s Eve celebration AND the planned New Year’s Day house-warming party. Audrey drove up on Thursday in the snow, so she was our only guest. She left the southern house around noon, didn’t get up here in Newcastle ME until 6:30pm – she got stuck on Rte 295 north of Portland because of a vehicular flambé at the height of the storm, so the plows and sanders were caught in traffic too, and sat for about ...
