Portsmouth NH Homes | Lilacs Scent the Air

Ann Cummings — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:00:00 +0000

My Portsmouth NH home is surrounded by the sweet fragrance of lilacs and it is heavenly to smell the air here! I’m lucky to have several varieties of lilacs growing in my yard, along with some other flowering bushes that have wonderful fragrances. For about a month, the air around my house is beautifully scented – I love it!

Did you know that lilacs are the state flower for New Hampshire? We have the Lilac Festival here in Portsmouth NH every year, and it’s held about a mile from my house at one of the beautiful historic homes in Portsmouth.

Portsmouth NH homeowners regularly enjoy Portsmouth waterfront scenery such as these tugboats. The Moran Tugs are famous enough that many who come to visit frequently ask about.

The tall tugboat in this picture on the right was a visiting tug that I was lucky enough to catch before it headed back out to sea. When our local tugs were lined up at their docks with this tall beautiful tug tied up right beside them, it made for a really cool sight to be able to see.

Tucked Away Places in Portsmouth New Hampshire

Ann Cummings — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:34:00 +0000

Making my home in Portsmouth NH, I get enjoy lots of tucked-away places that visitors and even many Portsmouth home owners never know about. This off-the-beaten path road is a very quiet drive, narrow in places and is so peaceful. Those who know about it just love the peacefulness and natural state of it, so very special and I’m happy knowing that so many cherish it just the way it is…..

This was just about the last splash of color I caught this fall around Portsmouth NH homes and businesses. The reds were so vibrant, even on a cloudy overcast day – look at the leaves that had already fallen, and those yet to fall still on the tree.
