My Favorite Time of Year
I have a three day weekend, fall is in the air, there are still some veggie’s hanging on in our garden. Life is pretty good. David and I said goodbye to summer in the perfect way . . . a Labor Day Weekend Trip to the fabulous Cape May, NJ. It’s a sleepy little Victorian […]
A Crazy Month
So it’s been nearly a month since we got back from Ireland, and I keep meaning to blog about it, but the entire month as been gobbled up by the work / life monster. We have had a bit of fun along the way. Thursday night we FINALLY visited the fantastic High Line park, and […]
Knitting Do-overs and Ireland pt. 1
I can’t believe it’s been a month since my last blog post. I feel like this summer is being washed away. David and I did take a fab vacation (more on this later), but we’re really not doing any summer NY fun stuff at all. We still have yet to see an outdoor movie or […]
Fun with an SLR
We got a new camera for the Studio, and I have no idea how to use it. So, I took it and the book home on the three day weekend to learn the difference between the 8000 different settings. Here are some pics I took in the garden (I must have been hungry when I […]
Where Did June go? Oh I Remember, it Got Washed Away!
I can’t believe the first month of summer is almost gone. It’s rained about every day of June, so here in NY we still feel like we’re waiting for summer to begin. I spend most of the middle of the month on a plane. First I was off to TNNA, in Columbus. The best thing […]
Missing WWKIP Day . . . AGAIN
Sunday was my favorite type of day, some work in the garden, picking some food . . . (TWINS!) (Artichokes coming along nicely) and enjoying the roses. David settled down to correct a giant pile of homework, and I decided to do some spinning I was inspired to get out the wheel in the garden […]
It’s All About the Food
David and I decided on way to fight this economy is to grow as much food on our little Brooklyn roof as we can. This year we have going, Strawberries, Artichoke, Arugula, Romaine, Green Leaf, Brussel Sprouts, Zucchino (round Zucchini), 4 different kinds of Tomato & Snap Peas. All the veggies in our “hippie” earthboxes […]
Sheep, Cherry Blossoms, Veggies & SPRING
Nothing says Spring like the Shearing of Sheep. Last weekend I enjoyed two of my favorite springtime Park Slope rituals. . . The Cherry Blossom Festival in Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Fleece Festival at the Prospect Park Zoo. We started the rainy day at the BBG. Despite the rain, the blossoms were amazing. My […]
Flowers & FO
It seems like two weeks between blogging is about the best I can do these days. I keep waiting for life to feel like it’s slowing down, but it won’t happen on it’s own. I’ve decided that I would find ways to slow it down myself. A couple of weekends ago it was Forsythia Day […]
Slowing Down to Appreciate. . .
The last few weeks (of no blogging) have been insanely busy. I’ve been so snowed under with work that my “days off” have been spent on the computer for most of the day. I feel now like (for a few days anyway) things are under control and I’m feeling overwhelmed by how lucky I am. […]
