Today many of our town farms were open to the public. We went to several of them, and had a delightful day! I found some great places that I didn’t even know existed in Barrington.
There is an Alpaca farm that has a spinning mill, where fibers are spun, by machine, on site. [...]

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! What a fun thing to find when I checked in today!
Rain. Yuck. So no trip to the farm…it will save for another summer day that it doesn’t rain. (When we go, Sara, I will say Hi to your doggie…whatever they named him!) We went to [...]
She did nothing fun… June 25, 2008

Today was mostly mundane. I did work on my sweater, which I really should be finished with by now, and I have only a smidge left to do, but it seems to be working up in slow motion. I think I miss my knitting class/group more then I realized. I need some motivation!
Tomorrow is my [...]

My husband is working on a movie, well he’s writing, directing and producing and independent film, this summer. The script is done and shooting starts in July, sometime. We invited some people over to do a read through to see how the script worked and get feedback. I spent the day cleaning and making snacks. [...]

I’ve been threatening for a while, but I finally made the Gathering Apron, from Frog Creek Cottage. It was very fun to make, and I will definitely make more. I want another, and I think my mom needs one too. The instructions were easy to understand and the pictures were very helpful. [...]

This is going to be a long post, so go ahead and get a tasty beverage, and listen to all the news and gossip of the day.

Today is the longest day of the year, and the first day of Summer! The Radishes were ready to celebrate today…
Aren’t they beautiful! We may try making the Radish Greens soup, after Dad enjoys the little fiery red globes in his salad of fresh picked greens tomorrow. I found two that had [...]
She admits to hating professional sports June 19, 2008

I’ve never seen the point in professional sports. I don’t understand the need to pay adults to play games, while people watch. I don’t understand the value we place on entertainers, in general.
I live in New England, and we have some great sports teams at this point in history. The Red Sox [...]
