Our week has been a little topsy-turvy and it’s been hard to get the blog submissions on the ‘proper days’, but I don’t want to deprive you of all the news. We had a big corporate order of bagels which went swimmingly and today we have a few extra ‘surprise’ bagels, mmmmm, sourdough bagels. IContinue reading “Special Edition: Happenings and what not…”

Tuesday Happenings: Catching up
I am sad to say that there are still flower seedlings waiting to get into the garden. Those poor little potbound babies, looking longingly at the ground. If it’s not raining this Wednesday (our only day closed) I will do my best and get them into flower boxes. Meanwhile, the garden is looking scraggly butContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Catching up”
Tuesday Happenings: Crazy Bzzzy!
All of a sudden, all the things are happening. This Summer Solstice is bringing with it a real start to a season! This Friday, June 23rd, we are lucky lucky lucky to have a lovely poetry reading with poets: Audrey Gidman (her first, thoughtfully bound collection from Slate Roof Press, Northfield, MA is gorgeous), megContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings: Crazy Bzzzy!”
Spring Tuesday ‘Round Here
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”
