These fringed tulips are a little glimpse of spring, reminding me that warmer days and garden season are just around the corner. Can’t wait to see everything start blooming again! #SpringVibes #Tulips #WaitingForSpring

Is it going to be a cross country ski day or a snowshoeing day? Depends on if we can get out of the driveway. 🤣 #pioneervalleyma

Lucky to have our property share a border with the state forest. We can just put on snowshoes and go on a winter wander. #winter #westernmass

Tried the NY Times recipe - salmon with miso and dijon wrapped in cabbage leaves. I included an off the cuff recipe for green beans and couscous. Delicious!

Moved the trail cam to a new spot in the woods today, and the results are pretty cool! Captured a variety of snowy forest scenes, each with its own vibe. Can’t wait to see what wildlife shows up here next!

Trying to control glucose spikes after lunch. Looking for recipes that include chickpea pasta. In the past they’ve turned out gluey. Recommendations appreciated.
