green with envy::

Happy belated Earth Day!
How fortunate are we to see the beauty all around us.. I'm green with envy at those farmers/gardeners who make gardening seem so effortless. Here's some of my Instagram pics: 1.vintage green bike 2. green house envy @wallkillview farms 3.daffodils 4.earth day celebration 2015 New Paltz, NY @newpaltzclimateactioncoalition (basil plants)

The Color RED::

The elegant simplicity of country life.

A pleasant Sunday afternoon.

Who could ask for anything more...

Tomorrow, I'll paint a pasture a new.

Today, it was RED. 

Hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Brook Farm and The Farm Chicks

It's raining here in NY. What a great day to experiment with some new recipes. I purchased my copy of The Farm Chicks Cookbook,"In The Kitchen." Let the cooking begin!First order of business is to wash and organize the veggies I gathered from Brook Farm in Gardiner, NY. A big Thank You to Dina And Jack for sharing their love of this Farm with me and my family.Kale, tomatoes, parsley, beans, zinnias, squash were for distribution.May I point out, "Don't squeeze the tomatoes!" I did, OOpps! Anyway, it was fun and the scenery was gorgeous.What better way to spend a Saturday, on a working Farm.Baa, Baa.. I didn't see sheep. I wonder? Ok, have some work ahead of me. Have a great week. Hugs, Liz

Dressel Farms

Finally, I get a chance to sit down with a glass of ice coffee and say," Hello."
It has been so humid and hot in NY.Yes, it's Summer I know. I should stop complaining. My travels take me to New Paltz,NY. Dressel Farms is a Family owned and operated Farm, for over 50 years.Strawberries are at it's peak. Delicious! Can't wait to make some strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. I have been suffering from a terrible sinus infection this week. Headaches, headaches. Hope it goes away real soon! One more day till Vacation. No plans yet! I only have a week off from School.It will be good just to relax and do some much needed chores. Enjoy the weekend ahead. Hugs, Liz
