Occupancy Permit….? Achievement unlocked

Very quick update here – Paul and I spoke today and the Town has wrapped things up and as of today, I have my Occupancy Permit. All permits in order – we are done!

Paul – awwwwwesome work sir!

Prepping for fall and house update

Fall is definitely coming. While not every day, we are getting more and more frost in the morning. But the lawn is still growing due to the recent round of rain, most notably the very, very mild brush we had with Hurricane Matthew (basically about 30 hours of steady rain and almost no wind).

My […]

Fall is not here yet – but you can see it from where I am standing

Fall in Carlisle is coming – no leaves are turning yet but you can feel it in the air. The weather this weekend is fantastic and that crisp mid-60’s feeling that New England gets around Halloween. One of the things I missed while living deep in the city in San Francisco is the smell of […]

Update July 24th – yesterday’s brief but intense storm left some impact

A very decrepit and quite unbelievably still alive butter nut tree along my parent’ driveway blew down yesterday evening. I noticed it while cutting back the pernicious Bitter Sweet vines up near the street.

Also – my dad and I noticed a very large widow maker blocking half of South Street up near Heald Road […]

July 23rd in Carlisle – HOT

I am having coffee on Sunday 7/24/16 at 6:30am while I write this and it is a very mild 60 degrees on the porch. Yesterday was very hot and I believe set a new record – something like 94 and humid. We had an absolutely cracking rain storm zoom through around dinner time proceed by […]

May 2016 – a busy month

May has been a really busy month for me with a lot of travel for both work and personal. I went to California twice, visited the BNY Mellon Innovation Center in Palo Alto which was super interesting and did general work stuff in the office. Then a few days later my parents and I traveled […]

Doings around Carlisle – spring is trying to sneak in – which equals a post that is a bit of a rambler…

But not really making a lot of consistent forward progress. Most of this week it has been below freezing or very close to freezing when I got up for work – but then moves into the 40s-50s and yesterday up to 60. I did see two mosquito’s yesterday so spring is definitely on the horizon!

It is snowing here in […]

Doings around Carlisle and house update

I was in California last week so a bit late on posting

Prior to going to San Francisco, my parent’s and I took a walk along Two Rod Road in advance of the incoming snow storm Sunday evening (still was a bit squishy). Two Rod Road heads off toward’s Concord, passing by Punkatasset hill before […]

Winter storm clean up is needed

A few weeks late, but some photos of winter storm damage. Today (3/13/2016) is now fully spring. I was in NYC late last week and it was 81 degrees on Thursday down there AND in Carlisle. Things are not kicking into gear in terms of spring growth – but you can see it out on […]
