Eat. Drink. Live.
Lewis’ first real experience with snow. He was curious, and a little trepidatious, at first. Then he loved it.
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.
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 […]
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 […]
Well, it finally came. This warm, snow-less winter came to a screeching halt Saturday morning. Luckily, we were prepared, and had Joan Nathan’s Brisket recipe at our fingertips. And a new (used) snowblower in the garage: The snow settled in […]
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: […]
Here is what we’re doing in the garden this month (and last, too). We used the cut branches from our Christmas tree to mulch acid-loving plants like blueberries and hydrangeas. When we shovel snow, we throw it to cover any […]
If I say it’s *the* Nor’easter of 2014, does that mean there won’t be another one? Blueberries: Garden beds: In the morning, you could still see the redwood chairs: Remember our summer dinner parties? 8:30 a.m. and it was up […]
Looks like we need to inspect the downspouts! Makes for a nice photo, though.
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 […]
We settled in for the first big snow of of the year with a couple of side cars and a few selfies. Here’s a look at a our nice warm evening by the fire! Brr!
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 […]
So it is.
Will this winter ever end?
We got nearly a foot this time, and Sam really got out to explore this time, touching, tasting and playing. A joy!
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!
We did have a few flurries and even a couple of inches earlier in the season, but this was the first time Sam really got outside to explore the snow. I must say, she seemed confused. A few more pics, […]
I’m loving this new book called The Brisket Book: A Love Story With Recipes. by Stephanie Pierson. It’s a cookbook, but it’s also a narrative, with lots of brisket stories and tips — and it has a great attitude: fun […]
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.
