We’ve been planting the seedlings we started last month any time the sun shines here in Massachusetts … which means that during our two days of sun in the last month, we’ve been very, very busy! Here’s how it’s coming together.

I was looking for a something special to make for my husband’s birthday that was still vegetarian (after a weekend going to my high school reunion where we totally indulged in bacon, beef, etc. that they served), and I came up with this. Halloumi isn’t cheap, but you don’t need much to make an amazing meal, and for this I added seasonal ingredients (ramps and fiddleheads) that I love, but you can certainly modify it and use fresh arugula or other greens. Halloumi grills beautifully which makes it seem extra special!
So, I missed posting on Friday. Why? Because my kitchen was getting torn up searching for the source of the leak in our kitchen that we’ve had such a hard time finding. You can see the damage up there, dripping away on our beam and messing up our ceiling … But I’m happy to say that we found the culprit!
At long, long last, I got the spool chairs we bought with the house reupholstered! My favorite parts, though, are the throw pillows. I’ve been in love with this fabric forever, and finally have the perfect room to use it in…
This weekend I came across homebuilders Border Oak, located in the UK, and was incredibly impressed at how they design and construct new build homes that look like they’ve been around forever.
I came across this great little tool on the New York Times today. Basically, you select the items most similar to what you ate the day before, and it tells you how much climate change impact your meal that day had relative to other Americans.
We’ve been doing a ton of work starting to establish our veggies and herbs for the year! Here’s what we’ve got in the ground and what’s almost ready to plant …
This weekend I found (via Instagram) this beautiful antique house for sale in Essex, MA. It is chock full of garden and landscaping inspiration!
Given that we are swimming in fresh eggs, I wasn’t about to buy white eggs just to have something for my kids to dye for Easter! I bought a few different products that I thought might work to dye brown and blue eggs.
Even though we’re not exactly located in the wilderness, we have about seven acres and are surrounded by conservation land. This means a constant stream of wildlife takes advantage of our space. Thought I’d share some photos of our frequent visitors over the last year or so!
