A Boy And Girl

I’m so thankful for the bright sunshine that lured me outside and told me to ignore the temperature. I went for a lovely long walk today, a quiet stretch of country roads I discovered yesterday and plan to make very good use of. As a nod to my sister Laura’s recent series, finding a rainbow [...]

So, as I mentioned in the previous post, Abby and I checked out a local farm today for some fresh delights. Introducing Klein Farms. Whoops.. that’s my Jeep again. Silly me (LOL). Well, you can see some farm stuff in the background. Anyway, they got cheeses and milk products, and veggies and you know, the [...]

So, I sold my car about two months ago and ordered a new Jeep. I won’t get into all the details of why I traded in a car less than three years old for another one – Abby let me get it so that’s that. ROCK!!!!! Abby was great at the dealership when we picked [...]

We love animals and both hope to have a farm one day. I’ve helped out on locals farms a couple times growing up and loved how one farmer I knew always smelled like sheep. I don’t know if everyone can appreciate that, and I don’t want to think about what his bed smells like, but [...]

Josh and I have had a pretty busy summer so far and we haven’t even made it to the beach yet! Honestly though, I’m not even missing it, because we’ve been fortunate enough to spend lots of time relaxing on the Delaware River. Josh’s mom and stepdad have friends who have a sweet little house [...]

Finnegan has always been afraid of water. Not just dislike, I’m talking pure frozen in-place, terror of water. From refusing to go outside during rain to having to be dragged on the grass afterwards when it’s wet. And I feel partly to blame. When I first bathed him after bringing him home from the shelter, [...]

If last year was the Summer of Love (which is what my friends and I called it, since everyone seemed to be getting married or in love), this year, for me, is the Summer of Getting It Done. Even though it’s been busy, I keep managing to cross big things off my to-do list (most [...]

Josh and I had so much fun last night hanging out with Alison at my parents farm in Kempton, (you may have seen it before…). I can’t get enough of this time of year, perfect for hanging out on the grass (even better when you have a puppy’s tummy to rub) and cloud-watching. See all [...]

Josh and I took an impromptu camping trip on Sunday. Fortunately we were able to find a campsite that allowed dogs (even on such a busy Memorial Day weekend!), so Finny got to experience camping for the first time. He seemed pretty happy to be with us and enjoyed hanging out at our site, sniffing [...]

I am so happy to be using our grill and eating outside again! Tonight I made chicken and zucchini with a feta/yogurt dipping sauce, slightly adapted from this recipe, along with some tabbouleh. It was actually cooler outside than it was in our house, and it felt great to sit outside. Finn would really like [...]
