New Hampshire Daffodils

As you can see, we have plenty of fun things to do all over the state - New Hampshire is a great state to live in, and my favorite part of NH is Portsmouth and the Seacoast areas. Of course, I'm a bit partial to that area since I live in
Portsmouth and just love the Seacoast area. We're right along the coast, and even though NH displays beauty everywhere you look, it doesn't get any better than life right here in Portsmouth!

Welcome to our GREAT STATE - enjoy your visit - make New Hampshire your HOME!!! You'll LOVE IT HERE!!

WOW Ann, Aren't you lucky to have blooming flowers!! What beautiful pictures, you give me hope that the NORTH COUNTRY will soon see Sring!

Hi Vicki - thanks for reading so quickly! I was still fiddling around editing this post, and I found that I already have a great comment waiting for me - thanks!

We do, indeed, have some beautiful flowers blooming this way, and I've no doubt yours won't be too far behind!

Ann Cummings

Hi Ann: You write the nicest localism post. We have never been to New Hampshire but our daughter is now living in New York City so maybe we will make it up that direction. We have a time share and have thought of trying to do an exchange up that way.

Hey - this is nice post I would love it if you could post some local real estate information on our forum -

We don't have anyone who contributes from your area if your interested?

Hi Marchel - thank you for that very nice comment! If you do get to NYC, it's an easy 4-5 hour drive or a quick flight up here. And it is really a very pretty area to come visit - but be forewarned - if you visit, you just might want to keep coming back........ ;-)

Hi Sharon - thank you for your kind words! I will go check out your link and let you know. Thanks for the invitation!

Ann

That's quite a Spring Schedule, I guess we take for granted our great all-year-round outdoor weather. The photos are gorgeous!

Hi Ann:

I love your blog. It is refreshing to see agents that show off their area. Send me all the large photos that you can round up about your about your area and I will give you a chamber of commerce type photo show for your blog and websites. Select the link below and enjoy.

I am a 64 year old retired Realtor in Orlando, most of my time is taken up in assisting other realtors to succeed in their careers. It is a lot of fun to see others do well.

Best Regards;

Ann - great post as usual and I see Charles showed you the present he surprised me with today - I told him I felt like it was Christmas in May:-) Have a good one - enjoyed my visit to New Hampshire (vicariously thanks to you!)

Great post Ann,

Did you post this to localism?

I would for sure.

Ines - thanks for reading! Having the change of seasons as we do up here makes us really appreciate when each new season arrives, especially our gorgeous spings.

Charles - thank you so much for your generous offer! I will be in touch with you via email - many thanks!

Cyndee - you'll have to make your 'vicarious' visit here to NH a real one someday! Thanks for reading!

Ann

Hi Neal - thanks much for reading, and I did include this in localism! Thanks for the reminder and the comments!

Ann

Ann - What a great Localism post. I enjoy these posts about other areas around the country. The Northeastern States are on my "to Visit" list. Best!

Of course I have to read your post..you always see mine plus you know how I feel about old NH!

Hi Paula - many thanks for reading, and when you do get up this way, let me know. I'd love to show you around - it is a lovely area to come see!

Hey Neal - thank YOU!!

Ann,

Are you sure you weren't a tour guild in your other life?

Neal - I am pretty sure I wasn't, but if I did do that, what a fun job that would be!! I think I'd be pretty good at it, too. When I give area tours for folks thinking about moving here, they all typically comment on how much I must love living here because it comes across when I show off my areas. ;-)

Ann, I'm still catching up on blogs that I missed during vacation. I went to a sheep and wool festival in Ireland when I was there...all the handknit sweaters and hats. The sheep have the best real estate in the country over there! They are allowed to graze right up to the cliffs at water's edge.

Your pictures here are beautiful! Did you take any of them?

Hi Ann:

Here is another free Virtual Tour...Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Sue - thanks for catching my posts. Your comments about your trip have sounded really nice that I've read.

Thanks for the compliment about my pictures, and yes I take my own pictures unless they're properly attributed from other sources directly under the picture. You can probably find exactly where in this area that each of these was taken from.

Hi Charles - thank you so much for coming back to one of my posts!! I thank you for posting this tour so I could take a look at it. I will follow up with you - I meant to from the last comment you left me, and then forgot all about it. Sorry about that, and thank you again!!!!

Ann
