Posted on November 4, 2019 by Judy@NewEnglandGardenAndThread

I’m struggling with not being outdoors. I know – get over it. It was 29°F this morning when I brewed coffee, and Killington Ski Resort in VT opened up this past weekend. 🙂 Our property borders a wooded area so … Continue reading →

Posted on October 17, 2019 by Judy@NewEnglandGardenAndThread
