Baby It’s Cold Outside. I mean, wicked cold. (That was the Coke on my porch. Yup, Coke on the rocks now. Rather, one big iceberg.) Bone chillin’ wicked cold. And things aren’t lookin’ up anytime soon. (Snowing this very minute.) So last Monday we had another mega storm, dumped 14 more inches on top of the…
On Burying the Cow
So we’re getting socked with more snow in New England today. As in 10-16 inches expected at my house. Those of us in forced hibernation might particularly enjoy this funny anecdote from last week’s blizzard, Juno 2015. Resourceful New England women, battling the elements… Please welcome the author, my sister Susan. On Burying the Cow…
Bedford Village Inn
Welcome to the fabulous Bedford Village Inn! Bedford Village Inn, once the site of a working farm built in 1810, is now a four diamond luxury property nestled in the beautiful green hills of Bedford, New Hampshire. Beautifully preserved stonewalls are everywhere on the grounds. White lights, snow and architectural interest abound. Note the silo…
Ratty Ole Bathrobe
There were other things I planned to write about today. My Ratty Ole Bathrobe just wasn’t in the mix. But like you, I can’t predict what’ll happen in a day. That’s the fun. Like a magnet, my pen’s attracted to the action. When Jon returned from Nepal last fall (a poet: me!) he brought souvenirs. Good ones…
Another World
Folks, it’s bone chillin’ cold here in New England these days. This afternoon, the thermometer read a whopping 23 degrees. Now it’s 14 and dropping. That might not seem wicked cold to you, but it’s a dry cold, if you know what I mean. Ha. (“It’s a dry heat” always gets me.) Another World by allie…
Shut up and Listen
We all have life defining moments. We don’t know when or where they’ll happen, we just know they do. And usually when we least expect it. If you don’t know, one of my little boys has an extra chromosome. It’s mind boggling that something so microscopic and invisible to the naked eye contributes to such…
Sugarbush Farm
Hoping you’ll go on a little weekend field trip with me today: a jaunt north up to Sugarbush Farm in Woodstock, Vermont. This, is a neat place. It’s family owned, and you feel it the minute you step inside the main house. First, we’d taken the boys to see glassblowing at Simon Pearce Glass in Quechee, VT….
Misery Loves Company…
(Just call me Tundra Woman.) It was the coldest, snowiest winter in recent memory. The bathroom tiles were icy on my bare feet that morning. Oh how I wished we’d sprung for fixing that wall heater. Seconds later, the naive assumption the toilet lid was up didn’t improve my mood. Misery Loves Company by Allie…
Christmas Prelude: Kennebunkport
Seriously, I must’ve had my head in the sand. (Or snow bank?) True confession: until this season, I’d never heard of Christmas Prelude in Kennebunkport, Maine. But it’s quite a to-do here in New England, so you should know about it too. Christmas Prelude has happened every Christmas season in Kennebunkport since 1982, and just concluded…
Rhode Island Christmas Home Tour
“Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Fa la la la la, la la la la!” Rhode Island is near and dear to my heart. I was born there just a few short years ago. Giggle. Only thirty-nine by forty-one miles, Rhode Island has some of the best coastline in all of New England. (I’m…
