Happy February - of the coldest winter we have had in some time. Embrace the season and cozy up with veggie packed soups and hot herbal tea. I have been trying to think about this season of winter as a period of rest, replenishment and introspection. If nature is calling for dormancy maybe I should listen.

Happy New Year! Here we are setting our intentions for 2026 - are you ready for it? My word for the year is DISRUPTION. An unusual one I know…….. but CHANGE happens through DISRUPTION.

I have already been embracing the joy this season offers! It's easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle, but I am remembering to fully take-in glimpses of glowing lights, the warmth of gathering with loved ones, and carrying on special traditions.

November in New England is ideal for outdoor adventures and indoor activities. We enjoy exploring colorful leaf-covered trails on nature hikes, an occasional hayride at a local farm, and some harvest style home-cooking. We have been loving this season of apple picking together, savoring crisp autumn air, and sharing warm spiced cider. Our gratitude for family and friends is overflowing! We plan to carry that right through November.
