Eat. Drink. Live.
We took Boo and the neighbors for a swim and a picnic at Oratmain on Sunday evening. No photos of the kids or the food, but I did snap this as we were packing up the car. What a lovely […]
A typical summer weekend at the farm. We started with some gardening and chores, then Boo came up and we had a swim and supper at Oratamin, then watched an outdoor movie. Good times! Hunna installs our outdoor speakers: A […]
And who doesn’t, really?
The first concert of the summer! Youthfest, and there were many youths! Incuding Sam: Lots of dancing! Gigi and Mario: More great Nyack folks: Good times.
I’m very sad to report that the farm’s great friends Kelli and Patrick will be moving to Virginia. It is a loss we know we won’t fully understand until they go. For now, we are cherishing the few weeks we […]
An early supper with the folks to celebrate the great fathers in our lives. Â Â
Our sale finally happened. It was back-breaking work, but in the end, fun to be with — and meet new — friends and neighbors, and make a little money on the side. And now it’s over and we have a […]
A little parade, a little walk, a little Oratamin. A nice way to bring in the summer. Here are some pics:
Sam’s friend Claire (and our friends Jane and Pat) invited us to her third birthday party. Wonderful weather, delicious food and fun with friends. Here are a few pics: Â Â Â Â Â Â
First of all, I hate shopping at Lowe’s to begin with. How many times have you gone there with your husband and then endlessely walked the aisles, looking for him? I can’t be the only person. And you can never […]
For 2014’s first cocktail hour on the patio, we lounged in our soon-to-be-sold redwood chairs and admired our clean garage. Now that’s living.
The purchase of new porch furniture ingnited a chain reaction. There was no room to put the old furniture, even for a short time until we figured out what to do with it. We were just plain out of space. […]
For Mother’s Day, we grilled burgers in honor of Grandmom. Toward the end, when she was losing her memory, she famously used to say, “I can’t remember the last time I had a hamburger,” even if that last time was […]
We’re getting a new bed, with a new mattress, so it’s time to say goodbye to the super-comfy, yummy bed. The one where Samanatha slept between us the night we brought her home. The one where we’ve nursed flus (and […]
Our Easter Sunday supper was share with the best of friends and family, and our table was blessed with fabulous spring food. Unfortuantley my phone ran out of memory just as we were sitting down, so I didn’t get photos […]
Easter Sunday: Church, Easter eggs and spring dresses. And Greg at church! A special day indeed! Isn’t it funny how the Easter Bunny comes while you’re at church and hides the same eggs that you dyed the day before? How […]
Pruning was the name of the game today. Pruning and a little planting. And a little fun, of course. Pear tree branches: Afterward, Kris and Tom came over for a little supper.
A few cute photos of Hunna and Sam, at our diner lunch on a rainy Saturday.
With Sarah in town, we invited the Ranchers over for a simple Friday night supper. A tarragon-mustard chicken with farro and greens. Good times!
After church, a trip to Didier Dumas, where Sam enjoyed a pan au chocolat. Then, an afternoon of toys and TVs, mainly Frozen and Sound of Music… her first time hearing Do Re Mi! Watching Frozen: Sound of Music!
I asked her to show me her dance moves. That video is what I got. (A couple more videos in the post, too.) Later, playing around in the foyer with Baa and the wagon. Good times. And later, Dad gives […]
Kelli, her kids and I took a walk around Rockland Lake Sunday. It was finally warm enough, at least for a day or two. So good to get outside! Afterwards, we hug around with Sam in the living room for […]
An early Saturday night out at Mountain House for pizza. It’s been a while! Sam places her order: Casear salad: Breaded zucchini sticks. (Nah. Mostly bread.) Pizza: Somebody enjoys her ‘za: Sam and mom:
Finally! A day warm enough for a walk downtown. Here are a few pics: Two new restaurants coming to town: Sam on the sidewalk: Even Cricket is out and about today! No coat!
Well. Let’s just say she’s actually doing something sort of useful. Buttering the pan. Or, as she says, ‘scraping.’ Recipe for the delicious blueberry cake coming soon.
And other cute questions that Samantha Grace Weber can now answer. Another video inside the post, too.
Our second time at the circus with this little girl. I think she understood things a little better this time around. But when we walked in to the arena, people everywhere, strange sounds and smells, she got a little weepy. […]
And the second video:
She loves our little Nyack bakery. This photo is from last week, when she had a blueberry muffin and a croissant. Then she was talking about “Didier! Didier!” all week, so after church this week, we went back. Didier himself […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
