An Afternoon in Chester…

I had a feeling that my last full weekend of Summer of 2024 in New England (September 1st is the beginning of Fall for me, and no one can convince me otherwise!) before I head out to the West Coast in a few days would be met by ominous clouds and the occasional downpour. It’s […]

A Few of My Favorite Things: June 2024

Local Loves: Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree Farm

For as long as I can remember, my family and most of my friends (and then just me when I moved away from home) have had fake/plastic Christmas trees on display every holiday season. A lot of us have/had pets, other friends had small children, and I guess there was just something about being able […]
