A Winter Stay At Wildflower Farm
Every year, this terrible thing seems to happen. I can’t put my finger on why. It makes no sense to me at all, and I don’t quite know what to do about it. So, I thought I would discuss what it is like to stay with us through the winter time. Every year, our usually…

Wildflower In The Winter Mist
Outside the damp is biting in the cool air. It smells of forest and mist today, dead leaves, and cold. The New England Fog, has pulled itself over the farm hanging like a large white translucent veil that obscures the view of the farm, of the neighbors. The view into the woods only goes so…

Hot Chocolate A Christmas Time Treat
The trees have grown skeletal, and the grass too has thinned out and browned some. The sky was clear today, a New England bright blue color that whispered of the cold, bright but frigid. I spent much of the day outside in the yard playing with my dogs. Finally we came back into the house…

Homestead Rosemary Caramel, A Thanksgiving Treat
The cold has begun to scream and bite. Today, there was the gloom of snow. Dare I say it felt a bit like the sky was constipated. Heavy with a load of snow, grey from the misery of holding it in. The air was frigid, and slightly windy. Even my small dog wanted to rush…

Nakke Nakuttaja's House
Today, the sky is blue with puffy clouds. But it was only a couple days ago now, that I looked up to see the winter grey of unfallen snow, up above in the sky. I am a New Englander, we are like the Irish. Perhaps all coastal and or island people are like the Irish,…

Cold Comfort Farm
This month we read Cold Comfort Farm By Stella Gibbons, was this month’s book. We needed something a bit lighter in subject matter. I thought a spoof on the D.H. Lawrence, Bronte Sisters, Jane Austen, style genre might be fun. And to some extent it was lots of fun.
