Eat. Drink. Live.
Lewis’ first real experience with snow. He was curious, and a little trepidatious, at first. Then he loved it.
One of the worst commutes the region has seen in many moons. It took me two hours, and I was one of the lucky ones. For some, it was 10. Yes. Ten! It came on quickly, during rush hour, and […]
Oh, joy! Another snowstorm. This time, we host Ella and Julia. It is to the point where I am allowing glitter as part of the craft situation. Later, they watched a movie. Thank goodness for good neighbors!
Pretty white out today. At breakfast, a woodpecker: The electric skillet makes killer pancakes. A trip out on the roads:
Hello, snow! Children in snow: Snow as art: Goldfinch! Hot chocolate for the neighborhood kids!
A snow day at the farm, wherein Sam and Abby kept themselves occupied and I worked from home. Until about 5 o’clock! Cheers.
After the Saturday snowstorm, we witness the beauty of winter, both at home and at church.
A fun start to the holiday season, with a little light snowfall, an afternoon of baking, and an evening of enjoying good friends and good food. Snow! Building a snowman! Now, we bake Christmas cookies! And then, off to […]
There’s always one, isn’t there? A big storm hit the farm this March. It was a school and work days, so you know what that means. And also a nice brekky. Going back to help out the bees. And a walk […]
On this snowy day in Nyack, Sam and I walked down to the library to check out a book, hit Didier for a macaron, and then snuggled in front of the fire to watch a movie. A perfect Saturday.
Our first real big snowstorm this year. We weathered it fine, and at the end, enjoyed a nice drink. Cheers.
A few inches of very light and fluffy snow, and we play. Snow, slo-mo! #sourcherryfarm #snow #lohudsnow #nyack #southnyack A video posted by Liz Johnson (@sourcherryfarm) on Jan 7, 2017 at 2:56pm PST Catch it on your tongue, Sam! Can […]
We woke up to a winter wonderland! First snow of the season! Snow angels were a requirement, naturally. Winter at the farm. One last holdout from the garden: Down by Charlie’s house, evergreens! And then a fire and some […]
We haven’t had too much snow this year — save for the big one a few weeks ago — so this dusting was actually sort of pleasant. The birds are happy to find the suet in the pear tree, that’s […]
Soup. Brisket. Spice cake. A great menu for a cold night by the fire. And while the wind whipped and the snow fell, we were cozy inside by the fire with great friends. Under all that goodness is the brisket: […]
Good morning! A blanket of snow has covered Sour Cherry Farm, but it’s bright and sunny outside, so Sam is ready to play! This says 10 inches, but I think we got more. It was hard for me to hold […]
Finally somewhat warm enough to take a walk around the lake. We needed it. It felt great!
More snow. A few photos.
First big snowstorm of the season, and we have pancakes, make snow angels and build a snowman. Pretty successful run, I’d say! Snow on tree: Yummy winter breakfast: Can we go out now, mommy? With Claire and Jane: Snow angels: […]
Another day, another snowstorm. Our neighbor, Pat, shovels his driveway: The lounge chairs are covered: At the end of the day, an aviation for our troubles: Cheers!
We’ve had a lot of snow this winter, but no storm came with as much surprise as the one that crept in while we were sleeping Sunday night. We awoke to push alerts about school closings and a coating of […]
After a big storm, we always go out and clean the snow off the roofs and porches of the hives. The bees need their air! We don’t open the hive, though, tempting as it may be. It’s too cold. The […]
First of all. It’s cold. Very cold. And it’s cold all over! A little more frost on the pumpkin! You know it’s been a nor’easter when we’re shoveling snow off the porch! The Farm! All dressed in white! […]
With these photos, I bring you a rare look at behind the scenes, the inner workings of Sour Cherry Farm. I take you …. dum, dum dum!…. behind the garage! Hunna is loading wood for the log hoop on the […]
Another storm! We woke up to a few inches, and expected even more to pile up throughout the day. A fortifying breakfast was in order! Benton’s bacon, Charlie’s eggs and Fairway’s brioche. Delishy!
The first snow of the season. A few flakes, didn’t amount to much. But it made everything festive and beautiful. Sam, staring at snow. A few photos around the farm: And a few from the drive:
So it is.
Is spring finally on its way? We can only hope.
Will this winter ever end?
In the second snowstorm of the year, Samantha got out and walked around while Daddy shoveled. Such a toddler! She did great! Until this happened. Poor baby!
