So much depends upon a red popsicle beside the white sundress.
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.

A Praying Mantis on the Porch
Concert in the Park: Lexi Edition
A bit of a hazy evening turned into a beautiful moonrise over Memorial Park. Great music, too: We started with Chip Larison and the Cat Fight Blues Band, then Sam Waymon and the Magic Band took the stage. Good times. […]
A Walk Downtown, and Crafts at the Farmers Market
A Saturday morning walk downtown. We notice, for the first time, a how beautiful a building is, even though we’ve walked past it a hundred times. See what you’re looking at. While Hunna and I shop the market, the girls […]
Visiting Stone Barns with the Girls
A little field trip for the cousins this Friday: a trip to Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. Down at the barnyard, Sam got a little scared of the pigs. And Mae and Jane were not impressed wih the […]
Hamburger Supper with Dan and Jen
After the beach, our first dinner back home on the patio. We invite Jen, Dan and Kate to join us. Jen brings deviled eggs. We grill hamburgers. The girls play with bubbles and chalk in the driveway, and hula hoops […]
Breakfast in Pigtails
Pitted cherries, oatmeal and milk. A typical Sunday breakfast for the farm’s youngest resident. And in pigtails, to boot!
Pitting Cherries with Samantha
Sam is “helping.”
Samatha Loves Cobbler
And who doesn’t, really?
The First Concert in the Park!
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.
A Fun Memorial Day!
A little parade, a little walk, a little Oratamin. A nice way to bring in the summer. Here are some pics:
Porch Flowers 2014: Shopping at Rosedale with Sam
Why is it that choosing my annuals for the porch and patio pots is always such a conundrum? Every year I fret and waiver: should I get these? Which flowers? What color combinations? I know, I know: #firstworldproblems. Sam […]
Sam Riding ‘Tractors’ at Lowe’s
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 […]
Easter Sunday: Church and Egg Hunt
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 […]
Go Badgers!
Westchester Burger Company in West Nyack
I’ve enjoyed my meals at Westchester Burger Company in Westchester, so we thought we’d give the one in Rockland a try. Two notes: The food is very good, but the portions are enormous. Enormous! My burger with bacon and egg […]
Sam and Greg: Cheese!
A few cute photos of Hunna and Sam, at our diner lunch on a rainy Saturday.
A Lazy Sunday with Croissants and Sound of Music
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!
Sam Shows off Her “Moves” and Plays with a Wagon
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 […]
Rockland Lake Walk
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 […]
Pizza at Mountain House in Sparkill
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:
Where Do You Live? ‘Sour Cherry Farm!’
And other cute questions that Samantha Grace Weber can now answer. Another video inside the post, too.
At the Circus with Samantha
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. […]
A Snow Day Monday
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 […]
At Art Cafe with Boo and Samantha
Heading downtown for pancakes, labne, a Magritte rice bowl and some good times with a groundhog. There was a wait for a table at Art Cafe, so we headed next door to the library to bide our time. Boo with […]
Sam Performs ‘Wheels on the Bus,’ Sort of
And the second video:
Sam at Didier Dumas Patisserie
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 […]
Merry Christmas!
On Christmas morning, I didn’t take many photos. Too sick! Sondra and Leigh came over, and Sam opened a few presents. This year, she received: a singing microphone from the O’Donnells; some card sets from us, including “crazy faces” and […]
Merry Christmas from Sour Cherry Farm
Merry Christmas everybody! I’m sorry to say that SCF doesn’t have the extravangza of recipes and cooking posts that normally accompany this time of year. (Like in Christmas 2012, Christmas 2011, Christmas 2010…well, you get the picture…) I have been […]
Annual Reading of ‘A Christmas Memory’
For our third year now (2012 here, 2011 here), we’ve relished in a holiday tradition of reading Truman Capote’s ‘A Christmas Memory.’ This year, we were at Kris and Tom’s, and Eamon and Sadie joined in for dinner and the […]
