Local Loves: Julien’s Farm Store

Greetings from the middle of yet another blizzard here in the Northeast! Although this current Nor’easter started a few hours later than originally expected last night, it has quickly gained both speed and momentum. As I’m writing this, I can barely see outside of my windows and the roadways have all but disappeared from view. […]

Ghosts of Christmas Past…

I had wanted to share some photos and recap from this past Friday night a little earlier this week, but the news and stories that unfolded over the weekend – the shooting at Brown University, the massacre at Bondi Beach, and the horrible news of what had been done to the legendary Rob Reiner and […]

Give ’em Shell…

One of the most exhilarating parts of the (almost!) Summer season has been looking at my calendar and seeing how many things I’ve got planned over not just the next few weeks, but throughout the next couple of months, as well. Between day trips out to Boston, long weekends on the Cape and in Maine, […]

The Deep Freeze…

It can prove to be difficult to make any short or long-term plans here in New England, particularly in the Winter when the weather is at it’s most unpredictable. I have a flight planned to North Carolina this coming weekend, and I have been obsessively and frantically checking the forecasts and radars for any inclination […]
