Eat. Drink. Live.
Greg has been thinking about this Loll Adirondack chair for a while, and one came up at the most recent employee sale. It’s a nice addition to the patio!
It was time. The old bows were ratty and ripped. I ordered new ones, handmade by TheHandmadeBow.com, and was so pleased! Beautiful and well made. Nice to have an update for the holiday season.
The fig tree has returned! Lavender looks good, too. We celebrate.
Cherries and hydrangeas are starting to look real good. Real good. Blue!
A few random photos from our spring Sunday. Church! Time to swap out the winter and summer linens. And we plant a new pear tree! The variety is Moonglow. And we turn on our new wine lights at cocktail […]
The flowers and fruits are coming in!
Instead of planting annuals in the pots by the garage this year, I decided to try hydrangeas. I figure once they get too big for the pots, I can plant them in the ground, either somewhere here or at Oratamin. […]
Pretty white out today. At breakfast, a woodpecker: The electric skillet makes killer pancakes. A trip out on the roads:
The tulips look lovely under the light in the foyer. No, they’re not from the garden. But they sure are pretty.
A few photos of sunrises this week. Beautiful colors!
After the Saturday snowstorm, we witness the beauty of winter, both at home and at church.
Somebody is not happy about chores. Stacking chairs in the garage.
This is the first year in many, many that our tree has produced figs. It’s also the first that it wintered over next to the house, in the same sandy bed with rosemary and jasmine. I figured like with like, […]
Good morning, Nyack.
It was an odd year in the garden. After losing the pear tree last year, there’s been a hole in the landscape that we’re not quite sure how to fill. For this year, anyway, we just decided to throw some […]
A lovely sunset this evening. This time of year they’re beautiful.
An update on the fields at SCF, as of August 5. Variegated lace cap hydrangea. Coneflowers and zinnia along the fence. More limelight and conflowers. Cosmos. The zinnias did well in this post. I lament the loss of the pear […]
The garden is really bursting with blooms now! Coneflower delight: Little limelight. Big limelight. An all-white bouquet for the office.
A beautiful rainbow this evening. And Sam took this one of us.
It’s time, folks! Sour cherries are ripe. Gorgeous! And look who is my little helper. Also, hydrangeas!
We harvest the cherries from the dwarf tree, the North Star. A nice haul.
So pleased to see the oak leaf hydrangea will bloom this year! Geraniums and phlox: Cherry! Looking good!
Looking great!
Protection from the setting sun is now available at the farm.
We have a helper in the fields this year! Here’s Sammy, laying down a row of radishes. Water, soil, sun. Watch them grow. The rest of the garden is humming along nicely. Lilacs: Tulips, a birthday present for Sam from […]
The garden is exploding! Lots of cherry blossoms; fingers crossed for a good year! Tulips. Hyacinth., Welcome, spring!
The daffodils are really coming into their own. It’s nice enough to have dinner on the lawn! A view from above.
Things are really starting to pop now! Hyacinths: Daffodils: Our summer perch:
It’s opening day of porch season, folks! Time to get those cushions out, dust them off, sweep and mop and get ready for summer!
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 […]
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.
