We started the weekend with a performance by Sam at church. The Bishop was in town, so we had to put on a show! Blurry Sam: After church, a game of chess. And a tour of the garden. The new […]
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 […]
A beautiful sunset this evening. And the limelights are changing from green to white. Dusty rose will be next! It looks a lot different now that the pear tree is gone. Related posts: In the Garden on a Warm Wednesday […]

It’s a weekend of garden work at the farm! We’re planting, weeding and mulching, plus taming a couple of big-assed flowering quinces that have gotten so out of control that I missed seeing our lilac bloom through them! The […]

Steak, tomatoes and corn. One of the great summer meals, don’t you think? And we started with lemon-thyme gimlets in the orchards by the pear tree. Related posts: Sunday Night Supper: Mini-Thanksgiving Sunday Night Pasta Supper Sunday Night Supper: […]
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.
