My last visit
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Wow, I truly can’t believe how quickly this year has flown by. Finally, though under a thick layer of mud and leaf litter, I can see green again at my spot, just like when I first met it. All over, ferns are […]Posted May 06, 2017. -
April Showers
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Finally! It feels like seeing my sit-spot with some plant life and budding growth was a world ago, and these signs of spring warm my heart. The cottonwoods, basswoods, and silver maples have shown signs of […]Posted April 15, 2017. -

Mount Major Spring Break Excursion
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Over my spring break, I went (finally) on a spring hike up to a false summit of Mount Major in New Hampshire. Itching to get outside, I was able to convince a friend to join me on a quick three hour hike up and […]Posted March 20, 2017. -

Another visit (plus some research)
Meredith Maloney on My Place
After some research, I would classify my phenology spot as a Silver Maple-Sensitive Fern Riverine Floodplain Forest. According to Wetland, Woodland, Wildland, these forests occur in the floodplains of rivers. In […]Posted March 06, 2017. -
Back at it again
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Finally, my first visit to my spot which I haven’t visited since last semester. It’s been a long while since I’ve visited my old friend, who seems to be holding up far better than I had expected. I assume that […]Posted February 06, 2017. -

Human Influence
Meredith Maloney on My Place
My sit-spot, while feeling untouched within my particular 20 foot radius, is actually heavily influenced by human activity upon further inspection… more than simple wear and tear on a walking path and the […]Posted December 10, 2016. -
One Last Visit
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Today was a particularly special visit with my spot, the last of the semester before a winter that will most likely bring my tree to the ground to rot and regrow into new life. As I began this blog with the […]Posted December 09, 2016. -

My Hampton Spot
Meredith Maloney on My Place
I returned to a spot at home, one I visited daily before moving to Vermont, with a newfound curiosity. My spot at home is the woods just beyond my own backyard. I picked this spot because I knew that now, I […]Posted November 27, 2016. -
Changes to my spot
Meredith Maloney on My Place
Since my last visit, my tree is farther gone. The crack in its base is wider, now filling with leaves and fallout from the canopy. More of its bark has rotted away, leaving the bare grey body to the cold. What is […]Posted November 06, 2016. -

My Tree

I wish I could have seen you alive selflessly existing, persisting, creating, sustaining and shading life around you. I wish I could have seen you in the fall, with leaves […]Posted November 05, 2016. -
Another Visit
Meredith Maloney on My Place
My spot, where I sat beneath my dying tree and in the midst of my calming green field, did not show signs of significant change. My tree does not seem to have decayed much further, and the vegetation does not seem […]Posted October 24, 2016. -
