It’s snowing again, light but steady. We’re predicted to get between four and eight inches. It’s already been a long winter, but New Englanders know where to look for solace. Last night, I drove past a little neighborhood market, which … Continue reading →

I got back to New Hampshire last evening to realize that sweet B is passing simultaneously through several transitions. Saturday, she’ll be celebrating—with a little adult help with the corks—her six-month birthday; she’s big enough to be moving from childish … Continue reading →

I was home in Connecticut this past weekend, and while I was digitally pawing through some old files I came across this, which I’d jotted down a long time ago. It’s been a cold, dark winter right from the get-go, … Continue reading →
