We had such a great work week last week that we decided to make Sunday our “Romantic Day”. Yup that’s right…no need for roses and B&B’s, Steven and I had daffodils, homemade beer and a cleared off couch…that’s all it takes for us! 😉 After quiet morning of blog surfing, spinning (still playing with the…

It’s been a beautiful week…if I could have put a special order into the Gods of Spring I would never have received more amazing weather…warm and dry. Steven’s on vacation from school this week so like every other Mainer who needs to accomplish work outside, we’ve been rejoicing at our good luck…my world is perfect…

I’m passing this traditional Native American convocation to you in hopes that you’ll read it and pass the link along as we strive for unity and respect of the Mother Earth The People Today we have gathered and we see that the cycles of life continue. We have been given the duty to live in…

Yesterday I walked around checking out the gardens and found blooming crocuses by the beach and along the stream towards the ocean tenting area…We open in exactly one month! For a moment there was the exhilaration in my stomach of sitting on top of a roller coaster before it zooms down the hill as I…

I got back to Searsport last night…now I face a mountain of “DO THIS FIRST”…so I’ll be getting back to you shortly I promise. The sun is shining, there’s still patches of fairly deep snow and in my five minute walk around, I didn’t see anything but a few hardy day lilies coming up from…

Not me…I escaped last Friday for a week in the Sarasota sun with dad…yesterday I spent most of the day at the Marie Selby Botanical gardens and here are a few of the prettier photos my little digital camera was able to capture…. I’ll be back in Boston for the wholesale gift show on Sunday…
