My dogs have a harder times adjusting, as the evening meal is delayed an hour, and the morning poop walk is later also! Takes a week or so to readjust.

Highly recommended sessions!

I attended one of these a few years ago in Moultonborough, and it was an hour well spent. Everything you could want to know about cyanobacteria.

There could be blooms that have gone unreported. They can't test what they don't see. Be vigilant. I saw a small bloom a few years ago, and used the app to report it. They responded, asking if I...

Another problem with lawns is that grass has very shallow root structures, and is a very poor filter for runoff. More runoff = more nutrient for blooms. Natural, native vegetation is far more...

It will get gobbled up, and McMansions with rolling green lawns will appear, and the folks on Bear Island will look out on another eyesore. Money always wins.
