The sun goes down early and there is a crispness to the air as Thanksgiving approaches. A great treat to bring might be homemade truffles from Thorncrest Farm (see separate post on background about the farm). For now trust me that the truffles are perfectly executed based on the selected milk from their cows. WeContinue reading “CT: Goshen: A Perfect Winter Pairing”

CT: Litchfield County Fall Tour
There are so many options for a beautiful driving tour of Litchfield County in the Fall. This was a perfect day. A day I described as feeling truly at peace. I was fortunate enough to be taken around by a local who knew the best roads and vantage points. Pictures above: Bulls Bridge, Kent; NewContinue reading “CT: Litchfield County Fall Tour”
CT: Weston: Trout Brook Valley Preserve
In a four mile hike we were rewarded with a wooded trail, wildflowers, a meadow, an overlook to the sound and an apple orchard! Of course what made this hike extra special was the group of beautiful like minded friends that together ensured each person experienced all to the fullest.

Inspiration: Fall Magic
Find magic in every day. It may be just a glimmer, a passing moment of appreciated beauty or a positive energy all which can be so easily overlooked. Further fortunate to have shared it with others who were equally affected. “You have found the other side of the rainbow” remarked a high school friend. WhatContinue reading “Inspiration: Fall Magic”

I wish I had better understood how to respond to that when I was asked so many years ago. Now I would say,Continue reading “Inspirational: Smiling Streets”
CT: Bridgewater: Comanche Hill Farm
Sometimes it’s easier to trust animals than humans, Bud shared. Today it was reversed for me (city gal) as I ran from Wyatt, the sweetest Texas Longhorn who lives on Comanche Hill Farm in Bridgewater. We were introduced to the farm, Bridgewater Land Trust and Bridgewater by a kind man named Bud who has farmedContinue reading “CT: Bridgewater: Comanche Hill Farm”
Inspirations: Yesterday’s Strangers
Gremlins in the basement, toilet won’t flush, foundation cracked and oil tank leaked. . . And it was a perfect day. Finding the gremlins led me to the crack in the foundation. The crack in the foundation led me to the oil tank leaking. The toilet not flushing must have been due to the gremlinsContinue reading “Inspirations: Yesterday’s Strangers”
Disentangle with Tangled Vine
One of the most liberating and joyful activities I find is to dance to great music. Straddling the age between early bird dinner and a night club, I was so happy to be introduced to a great Fairfield County 80s Rock Band called Tangled Vine. Melanie the lead singer sounds like the original singers ofContinue reading “Disentangle with Tangled Vine”
Solace in the Sunrise
Having misplaced the candles, I improvised the light with the morning sunrise. There appears to be opportunity for creativity, invention and growth in what can otherwise be characterized as a constraint, limitation or even failure. My Hanukah gift to myself. Happy Hanukah!
