If anyone didn't happen to be watching ABC this morning at 4am, that's a low news hour when they often air interesting trivia.  So this morning, one Kyle James was being interviewed for his price shopping tricks obsession (I want to marry someone like him).  I stopped mixing dyes for a gradient yarn … [Read more...]

Fun, Festive and Easy Stained Glass Jello Squares

October 14, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

These are always a huge hit.  Ridiculously easy to make, Stained Glass Jello Squares do span two hours to come together, but most of that time is spent with each layer setting up in the fridge while you're doing something else. You just have to show up every 15 minutes. They're also theme … [Read more...]

The Short Version:  Rent a scooter in Portsmouth.  Great way to tour around, see the city, and then some.  Easy to learn, don't have to straddle them, and not expensive.  Just $25 for 2 hours, $40 for 1/2 day or $75 for full day.  (Seasonally open April through October.)

May 16, 2014 by Carol Leave a Comment

As mentioned in Daylilly Daytrip #1, our website developer Jennifer recommended two excellent daylily flower farms, this one being the larger and the farthest, but she swears no one who likes florals would be disappointed.  The drive is certainly scenic because Vermont itself is.
