If you are regular reader of my blog, you must know by now that I am fascinated to learn how things work – whether it’s how we get our food or how someone does their job (I am a “recovering” organizational psychologist – my previous profession). So when I saw this post from The Happy [...]

My apologies for posting the weekend events so late. Between some technical difficulties with the website (we’ve switched servers) and dealing with Lyme’s Disease (I am dragging), I’m behind. And I simply can’t believe it is August already! Probably the heat and humidity isn’t helping either. We hope to get to the Farm Tour Potluck sponsored by the [...]
It’s a little soggy right now out in our local strawberry fields but the next week or so may be your last chance to eat these wonderful strawberries so get out there as soon as the sun pops back out. We stopped by Shady Brook Farm on Sunday and I picked up their flyer, “Tips [...]
