Averyl: Homemaker, Thrifty Yankee, Chipmunk Whisperer

In 1985 I moved from NYC to New England for college, then decided to stay! I live in a mid-century cottage with two acres of woods minutes from Portland, Maine and the sea. Outdated by design, my lifestyle is thrifty and simple. I enjoy playing outside and in the kitchen.

They seemed content until I stopped to take their photo. I must have interrupted a private moment. 🥰🤭 #crows #corvids #birds #mybackyard #love #bonded #flyaway #certifiedwildlifehabitat #maine #lookup #ilovecrows
Enjoying a beautiful but chilly late afternoon after a busy day in our backyard. Today we (ok, Wayne did most of the heavy lifting) tackled a large, overgrown invasive bush in our yard. Scroll through to see the before and after with a surprise in the trunk! 💚 We will be planting grass and ferns where there is now only soil. Also, I had a long and productive conversation with the CEO of @mexicaliblues @tophermallory this morning about their usage of my image without a credit. I feel very good about the outcome. He said they will be doing a repost with an apology which is all I want from this besides being treated respectfully, which I definitely feel now. #mybackyard #garden #certifiedwildlifehabitat #maine #cottagestyle #cottagelife #cottageliving #cottagecore
I wish for everyone to know the joy of being kind to the dirt, insects, spiders and native unruly greens that comprise a healthy yard. #organic #organiclawncare #certifiedwildlifehabitat #motherearth #bekindtowildlife #pesticidefree #maineliving #petunias #deer
Miss Ricky seems to like it when we have dinner outside on our deck. 🐿❤️ I took this through my old 1950s wavy window. She didn't know I was looking at her. So cute. #chipmunkwhisperer #chipmunks #chippy #chippie #easternchipmunk #retro #vintage #simpleliving #alfresco #alfrescodining #barkcloth #maine #cottagestyle #cottagelife #cottageaesthetic #cottagecore
