What a lovely weekend coming up in beautiful Bucks County! While my heart goes out to all those folks at the shore who may get a piece of Hurricane Earl (especially to those in North Carolina and Virginia – batten down the hatches), it looks like we are going to have a sweet weekend here. [...]
It’s September already?!? Okay, I said it and got it out of my system. Mind you, this weather is pleasantly like September but I don’t want to jinx it by prancing around shouting my glee – which is what I really feel like doing. Windows open, breezes, comfortable nights, sunny days. Like this weekend. Sunday [...]

I think there are fewer things more pleasant than strolling on a balmy summer evening. So it was when we went to the Grange Fair Thursday night. There’s also a palpable excitement in the crowd. Is this what draws people to fairs, and what has for so long? We were very hungry, arriving about 7 [...]

As you loyal readers know, I officiated at the Lower Makefield Farmers’ Market Zucchini Races on August 12th. What fun! It’s mostly kids making the racers (with a few experienced adults). The entries were creative with great names (“Unbeetable,” “Speed Buggy,” “The Bo Mobile”). Here are the results. See the photo slideshow for some great [...]

Here we are in the summer doldrums. It’s not as intense heat-wise as last month, but it sure ain’t fall yet. And I guess it would be overdone to say, “OMG, is it the end of August already?” although I keep saying it to myself (almost as annoying as “Hot enough for ya?”). At least [...]

We spent a long weekend in Kentucky, tasting good bourbon and visiting distilleries. What fun! But we are very glad to be in our ‘Old Bucks Home’ (sorry, Stephen Foster). I had forgotten just how much fried, salty food there is in the South. I know they must have fresh vegetables and fruit – it [...]

Come on down to the Lower Makefield Farmers’ Market this afternoon for zucchini racing! I’ll be one of the judges for this annual event. It’s a lot of fun – really. It is amazing what you can do with a zucchini. The decorations and engineering are quite impressive. The market is located in Lower Makefield [...]

What’s up this weekend? Well, not the temperatures. Saturday is supposed to only be in the mid-80′s and sunny, and Sunday will be in the mid-70′s with some possible storms. I’ll take it! As will the fields and veggies and fruit… Farm-to-Table Dinners. The Heritage Conservancy is hosting their 2nd Annual Farm to Table Dinner [...]

Is anyone still left in town? The internet seems awfully quiet this afternoon. Everyone gone off to the shore or wherever? Ah well, still lots to do and eat here in Bucks County! In particular…the first New Hope Summer Wine Faire debuts this weekend at Tuscany at the Towpath House in New Hope. Find out [...]

Hmmn. Drink wine all day and nibble on tasty food. All in convenient New Hope. Sounds like a lovely summer afternoon to me. Welcome to the first New Hope Summer Wine Faire, showcasing some of the best wines in Bucks County, this weekend, Saturday, July 24 and Sunday, July 25. The all day wine tasting [...]
Ice cream is good. Ice cream you can take home…well, that’s even better. And dangerous. Chubby’s Dairy Barn, the popular ice cream hang-out in Plumsteadville, has kicked it up a notch, introducing this season, Chubby’s Reserve, a line of their own recipe, take-home ice cream. If you’re a fan of Chubby’s you already know they [...]
Goodnoe Farm Dairy Bar- the famous Goodnoe’s ice cream of Newtown – is celebrating their first anniversary since reopening last year. In case you missed the story, the next generation of Goodnoes, brother and sister Colin and Kendall, reopened this landmark last July 17th after a two-year break. The new store started with the 12 original flavors, [...]

Wow. Can’t believe how much is going on this weekend. Sorry if I’ve been a little sparse on the posts this week. Still hobbling around the house with my torn ACL. It’s a drag. Literally. Some highlights for this weekend? On Saturday, how about the 28th Annual R&B Picnic by the Bucks County Blues Society, being [...]

As I write this, I’m nursing a torn ACL (ligament) that I blew out last Saturday playing frisbee. But it was all worth it. I taught a nine-year-old little girl how to correctly throw a frisbee – and she was really getting it down. Hopefully the temps will come down a bit this weekend, and [...]
