    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier April 22, 2022April 23, 2022

    Happy Saturday, friends! What a week it has been. Our large group of houseguests have left and all the laundry is done. We are still experiencing the most glorious weather and I’m not sure why this Spring seems so vibrant this year. Maybe it just everyone emerging from two oppressive years. Anyway, glad you are…

    Picking, Making and Baking

    ByMary Crozier June 3, 2020August 21, 2020

    You know how much I love gardening, and I am far from complaining. But everything is reaching its prime at the same time. The peaches, apricots, tomatoes, figs, artichokes, fennel, sorrel and soon to be apples are being harvested now. Tomatoes But unlike store bought produce, my homegrown fruits and vegetables don’t last days on…
