Mis-communication My husband was at work last week when he got a phone call from a number he didn’t recognize. A quick Google search lead to discovery that this phone number had been calling to a level that was harassing and never left a voicemail. So he chose to ignore it. A few minutes later [...]
Name that Blossom
The thing I love the most about Spring is the beauty of the blooming fruit trees. I recently took my camera on a lunch run with me simply so I could take pictures of some of the beautiful blooms presenting in Manchester, New Hampshire. I wanted to share some of them with you. But here’s [...]
An anniversary
A year ago today I brought home my running buddy, my snuggly puppy, my happy clown. In a year Cooper (aka AKC registered French Fries and Gravy) went from a tiny little blonde puppy with a somewhat shy temperament to a 37 pound high energy goofball. In one year he has completed Basic I and [...]
Manchester in the Evening
Manchester has this pretty park at the top of Bridge Street called Derryfield park. We were there playing Frisbee earlier this week. I thought the view was so pretty from the top of the hill that I had to take some low light pictures. The mountains in the distance are called the Unconoonucs.
Kraft Foods – Home Farming
I recently came upon Kraft foods’ home farming community sponsored by Triscuit. I actually liked the site, it’s a very good primer to growing vegetables at home. And here’s my more detailed review. They have vegetable profiles. Basic, cartoony, but simple enough to make growing broccoli seem easy. My only complaint, very little variety. The [...]
Start of the Garden 2010
My garden last year failed pretty badly. I decided to have a much more conservative approach this year and will be sticking to my 4 raised beds and some vegetables in pots on the patio. A couple weeks ago we planted a bunch of seeds that I had leftover from last year. Our friend Larisa [...]
Prunes get rebranded?
I love dried fruit, I especially love prunes. They aren’t small like raisins or crasins. They aren’t tough like apples or apricots. They aren’t crunchy like banana. They have just the right combination of size, juiciness, and tenderness. They are one of my favorites as a snack. And they are known for their beneficial properties. [...]
Resident Chipmunk
Our cat Audrey is a great huntress, but we need to teach her to stop playing with her food. While I was in Canada she must have gotten into our attached garage and brought in a chipmunk. Adam texted me telling me that all three of our pets were playing with the chipmunk. I was [...]
In-Laws Yorkie
My mother-in-law has wanted a small lap dog ever since they got their big Gordon Setter Callie. She recently got herself a real tiny little lap dog. She was told that it was a yorkie-poo (I’m not seeing the poo part). But I figured I would share some pictures of the wee thing. The puppy [...]
