Drying Out
I think it is appropriate that amidst all this rain I would test drive the Nesco Professional Food Dehydrator. It is my little ‘rage against the moisture’ 🙂 The dehydrator was a birthday gift from my sister in law and although I had been itching for one for a long time, the ‘busy’ness of every […]
Blueberries
It was a perfect day to venture out blueberry picking and the blueberry bushes were heavy with berries at Spring Valley Farm in Cecil County. The berries are $2.65 a pound. We managed to pick 11 lbs in no time with the three little ones ‘helping.’ Little J was an expert picker whereas we had […]

Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day may have been last weekend but we celebrated a week late with our annual family Mother’s Day Tea. This is one of my favorite meals to make and I am pleased that each year the food is more local and more seasonal than the last. This year I was able to use local […]
Did It Stick?
So it’s April now. How’s that New Year’s resolution working out for you? If you decided that you were going to keep the closet organized, the sink shined, or the laundry folded and put away, are the habits that you set out to create becoming part of your routine? Now is a good time to […]
