I spent my weekend away in Vermont, and Upstate New York. The upstate New York portion was for BF’s family reunion, on one of his aunt’s farm. There were hay rides, and a bonfire, and smores, and lots of lovely people. We even got to see some sort of Amish-esque farmers driving their buggies as […]
And, last, but not least, since we were coming from northern Vermont, we came home through the White Mountains in New Hampshire, and took the opportunity to take the Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountains National Forest.

Since it was a lovely day yesterday, the BF and I decided to hop in the car and get out of town. Spur of the moment, we based the trip on the Patternworks store, in Center Harbor, NH. Yes, this entire trip was planned around a yarn store (though the Keepsake Quilting Store in the

I had to travel to MA to find them, but I actually saw crocus and snowdrops in person this weekend! Spring really is coming! I was in MA for the fourth(?) annual Piemas celebration. I got to hang out with friends, and cute children, and cute cats. And, there was chicken pot pie, sloppy joe
