This month’s preschool theme was agriculture or as I told Z: farm. The first week we focused on chickens, we learned about eggs, fed chickens and even had hard boiled eggs for snack time. Next we peeled and cored apples the boys had picked, and made apple crisps. We played with bread…
Our culture makes it increasingly difficult to be present-it's so future go -go -go oriented. Doesn't take much to realize this. Just head to the grocery store. It was the fourth week of September, I had noticed a silly faced pumpkin trick or treat container that I wanted to get for Z. When I got…
It is now fall, a season of changing leaves and big changes for the Greenes. Ready to hear why my blog has been stalled: we are moving! L and I have been living on the East Coast for almost four years. We started this blogging adventure soon after moving to stay in touch with friends…
We drove by the bright purple winery building back in August when we joined the Springwater hiking group for a hike in Naples. We thought it may be worth returning to. So we found a groupon for wine tasting and cheese board and came back to check out our local grapes. As we drove through…
Well it's been busy past month adjusting to a new job, driving to Rochester everyday, and adding a puppy to our lives. We were ready for a weekend outing. A few weekends ago went to the Springwater 7th annual Fiddler's Fair. We heard about this fair from two sources: first from the maple farm we…
Today we are in Syracuse for the first time on a business trip. Luke will be attending a state wide nursing teaching day and since I am still waiting to hear back on the job interview last week (see a teacher without a classroom), I figured I'd come along and explore the area. I am…
We had a blustery start to Autumn this weekend, gray clouds, wind blowing leave off the trees, and rain showers. Still we decided to take a walk and risk getting wet to check out the Harvest Music Festival downtown Corning. Each year to kicks off the fall season the Riverfront Centennial Park hosts a Jazz/Music…
I have to be honest: I love apples that is partly why when Luke and I got married (almost a year ago now!) in Southern California's Apple Country: Oak Glenn I used their local apples to decorate the reception space. (See Sentimental wedding details). Last week I posted a blog sharing the first few glimpses of…
Fall (or Autumn) is my favorite season for so many reasons. The season makes me feel welcomed and comfortable. The cooler air, the wind, the beautiful colors of the trees, the opportunity to wear scarfs, flannel, boots, and of course more excuses to cook and bake. And the smells are warm and inviting (who doesn't like…
