The next Seacoast Eat Local Farmer's Market is Saturday at Wentworth Greenhouse in Rollinsford. I love the Rollinsford Market, and am excited to see what the farmer's have for us this week.

When I was in college I went through a period of time where I enjoyed reading biographies. One that touched me greatly was Amy Carmichael: Let the Little Children Come.

We are avid public library visitors. Mostly Mini and Husband, at this point, while I have them picking up a lot of inter-library loan selections. Since we value the Library we try to support it outside of the tax money that we already "donate". So when the librarian sent out a request for prizes/gifts for [...]

I commented a few days ago about writing to my Senator and Rep about concerns with a new law going into effect February 10. Changes have begun to take place and it looks like a good start.

I had my first vegetable garden this year. We were quite successful and learned a lot. I LOVE tomatoes fresh from the garden. Fresh green beans [...]
