We have left sheets spread out to catch the berries as they fall, but that method also catches lots of things we don’t want. So we spread and shake, then wait a day or so and spread and shake. That seems to work best.

Black Raspberry Time!
My grandma from Colorado used to make berry jam and put it into little jars and seal the top with wax. I have jars and I have wax; why not try some of Grandma’s old recipes?

The Reading Farmer’s Market is held from 4 to 7 p.m. every Tuesday, and on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the pavilion across from The Lone Ranger CafeContinue reading “Reading Farmer’s Market!”
Imagine the possibilities!
A few years ago we visited an exhibition of Yayoi Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water. The artist has been making these “infinity rooms” for decades, each with new takes on the idea of infinity. This was our first experience of an “infinity room,” so it was very exciting. The walls of the room, and evenContinue reading “Imagine the possibilities!”
Great was the fall of it!
The last post I wrote was centered on our wonderful wisteria: The wisteria was truly remarkable this year. It completely took over the arbor. The flowers were spectacular, drooping their elongated blooms over every side and even into our neighbor’s yard. It was a dream come true for me, really, because for the first time,Continue reading “Great was the fall of it!”
Wonderful Wisteria
I stood under the beautiful clusters of flowers and just enjoyed them for a few moments. They won’t be there after I harvest them, I thought, and they are so graceful. I just wanted to drink the beauty in for a little bit. I walked around and took a few pictures, and then he called out: “Go ahead and taste them. You can eat them right now.”
Mind: Blown
So over the course of the last month, I have been very excited about engraving glass, mostly wine bottles. It’s been a lot of work to figure all of it out, but I have been thinking about the potential–the possibilities. And my early efforts have been rewarded far above what I thought was possible. First,Continue reading “Mind: Blown”
Flower power!
Spring is a great time for new beginnings, and our household is no exception! Tony, of course, has been working with all the fresh herbs that are popping up from every crevice of the ground. This week he has been making flower teas and syrups. So far he has gathered forsythia, dandelion, violet, and cherryContinue reading “Flower power!”
Double-delicious Dough Bowl!
Hearty, wholesome, homemade bread is just begging to get started in this heirloom-worthy dough bowl! Turned from a solid piece of cherry wood, this extra-large bowl (13 1/4″ by 4 1/2″) is heavy, weighing over 5 pounds. The bottom is extra thick to handle the stress of hand-kneading the dough, and is plugged with aContinue reading “Double-delicious Dough Bowl!”
Leaving Etsy
This has been coming for a long time: We have talked about leaving Etsy for years now, but couldn’t really find a suitable replacement for the platform that we have used for over a decade. Etsy held a special place in our hearts, probably because we kept that first concept in our minds: The conceptContinue reading “Leaving Etsy”
