The last week was a busy and sad one here on the New Hampshire Seacoast.  With all my activity, I haven’t had any time for seed catalogues, daydreams, or night dreams.  My head hits the pillow and before I know … Continue reading →

I know I should be writing about tomatoes, lettuce, or napping.  It’s Easter Sunday.  It’s also my mother’s birthday and since she has finally decided I could write about her on this blog, I’ve spent more than a few hours … Continue reading →

You might remember my story about aprons and “a very close family member who does not want to be mentioned on this blog (yet).”  Great news!  She has agreed to be mentioned on this blog.  Drum roll…it’s my mother!  (Thanks, … Continue reading →
