Highlights: Frozen Treats for Summer + A Sponsor Shoutout

Published on May 26, 2014 By Emily. Updated on May 26, 2014

Despite the long weekend, I do not feel as “back in the groove” as my previous post hoped to usher in.  Meal planning and making is back on target, but I’m kind of disorganized in the other realms of life.  In the past 24 hours I’ve fought with the automated phone system at my bank, dumped a container of flour on the floor, singed the sleeve of my bathrobe and made a very unremarkable galette.

But it’s all okay.  Because in the scheme of things, none of the above are really that big a deal.  It’s Memorial Day, a day which should render me without anything to complain about.  I am extremely appreciative and thankful for the men and women that gave their lives to protect our country.

And, it’s the unofficial kick off to summer.  What’s more summer than frozen desserts?  I suspect another ice cream/popsicle highlights post will appear on the blog later this summer, but it seems too good to pass up for now.

Besides ice cream, what are you looking forward to this summer?  Also, I’m thinking about making Highlights into a link up post, allowing bloggers to share their posts that match the theme of the Highlights.  Thoughts?

Spring has finally come to the Berkshires! It has Spring has finally come to the Berkshires!
It has been such a joy to finally spend time outside regularly and see everything in bloom.

I bought myself a bike and, after the initial adjustment of learning how to ride again after a nearly 25 year hiatus, it's become one of my favorite ways to experience the outdoors. (None of these photos was taken while riding. I barely stay upright with both hands on the bike.)

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.
