Scene One: The Eastern Phoebe family on the back of the garage is growing nicely – a little pile of chicks stacked up waiting for their flycatching parent to bring them bits. Simultaneously the Dragonflies have hatched and they work hard like aerial acrobats saving us from being devoured by mosquitos (ok, I just likeContinue reading “Spring Tuesday ‘Round Here”

Tuesday Happenings: Living the Life
Some mornings the landscapers at the neighbors get us up early (and I thought our lovely neighbors liked us! ha!), and there are many spiders in the bathroom, and I find a tick attached to both me and the dog (not the same tick, at the same time, mind you), and the breads don’t comeContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Living the Life”
Tuesday Happenings & Events
Rainy Rain Rain. We need it though, not enough snow this Winter. The apple trees will be in drought again this year, poor little things. They’ve suffered so the last fews years with less and less water and more and more predators, some saplings are dwindling and others are pushing through – it’s definitely aContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings & Events”
Tuesday Energies: Being in the World
It’s been hard to keep up with our events lately as we’ve been busy busy busy like waking Spring bees – wake up little bees, the southfacing daffodils are ready for you! Our sleepy north hill still has a blanket of snow by the compost and the blackberries. Just a few crocus and daffodils areContinue reading “Tuesday Energies: Being in the World”
Tuesday Happenings: To Do List
Oh, a Spring to-do list, how it gets the homestead juices flowing. We are both invigorated and a little overwhelmed this year by the different directions we are pulled in. Though, to be honest, we are also very excited. This really feels like the first year in many where I am able to participate inContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: To Do List”
Tuesday Happenings: when we’re not looking
Last night I woke up and tiptoed downstairs, my beautiful tulips were sleeping deep sleeps. The moon was 99% full according to my Moon Phase app – hazy in the thin cloud cover but still illuminating across the homestead. I could make out the grape arbor, the late lilac, the burning bush and hard linesContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: when we’re not looking”
Happenings on a Tuesday
What happens around here on Tuesdays? Lately, J gets up early (not as early as on Monday when he hits the shop at 3:15, on Tuesdays he sleeps in until 5…whoa – ha!) and heads to the shop to bake for our Community Supported Bakery members (which will now be a Saturday thing, too). IContinue reading “Happenings on a Tuesday”
Tuesday: Sunshine Love
Well, we’re still building it but they are coming: the beekeepers (and charmers), the orchardists, the punks and secret anarchists, the poets, the curious, and the bread lovers; locavores and those who want community connection, responsible world choices, and perceptions shifted. It can be a challenge to readjust to how we expect things. Since theContinue reading “Tuesday: Sunshine Love”
Tuesday Happenings
You blink, and it’s Tuesday again. As we settle in to the store/bakery space we turn our attentions back to the homestead. Rearranging, cleaning, and purging all make a good Mid-Winter focus for us. Punxatawny Phil calls me home every year to consider how I want the rest of my Winter to go – itContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Wednesday is the new Tuesday, well, just this week…
Since the multiple snowstorms, our week has been shifted and so shall our reportings and plans. We cut the ribbon with the big scissors – the gracious mayor, the chamber of commerce, and a local state senator (who is an organic farmer- perfect fit!) were all welcoming and kind to come and usher us in.Continue reading “Wednesday is the new Tuesday, well, just this week…”
