Daze End
A little about me:
The wedding is over. I'm a "Mrs.". Now what?
I like to knit and horseback ride, which already probably files me in the 'quirky' category. I've become vaguely obsessed with fitness and nutrition, but am a notorious cheater. I ran a half marathon once, and someday, I might even put my running sneakers on again. I've also recently begun another obsession with gardening, which has morphed into a fascination with methods of preserving/enjoying my harvest, and once again to the art of home brewing. On any given day, my blog may cover one or more of these topics.
Just a few shots of the new place.
I know I’ve been a bad blogger of late, and I don’t have MUCH in the way of excuses, except that it’s been a helluva last 3 weeks. We moved into our new house officially on May 20th, and on May 25th I left for California for several days in wine country for the most glamorous bachelorette party ever.
Now that I’m back, sort of unpacked, and relatively caught up at home (we FINALLY have tv AND internet!) I’ll be posting more regularly, as well as sharing my adventures in organic gardening/canning/beer and wine making. As you know from this post I had big plans for this year. I had to modify a bit, and this is what I’ve ended up with:
- Rattlesnake Pole Beans
- Picolino Hybrid Cucumbers
- Partenon Zucchini
- Success PM Straightneck Summer Squash
- Falcon Hybrid Eggplant
- Jack Straw Pumpkin
- Jack-Be-Little Pumpkins
- Matt’s Wild Cherry Tomato
- Copia Beefsteak Tomato
- Early Jalapeno Pepper
- NuMex Joe E. Parker Pepper
- Green Finger Cucumber
- Greensleeves Dill
- Santo Cilantro
- Sweet Baby Watermelon
Not bad, if I do say so myself. There are also some pumpkins shooting up all on their own (appears to be where someone threw pumpkin parts from a carving session in the fall) so I’m just going to let those grow and see what they do.
I have to say, I’m in love with my new homestead, and I can’t wait to share pictures with all of you - stay tuned for those up next!
Ommegang Witte. Yum

We are off to do the final walk through on our new home(stead)! The sellers/tenants move out today and now our journey begins!
Remember my friend Cooper from this post? Well here’s a slightly more in-depth article about what he and his family went through. I’m a really lucky girl to have these wonderful people in my life. If you’ve ever though about becoming an organ donor, this is why it matters.
This looked so yummy. A new(ish) market/butcher opened up nearby called The Meat House offering good old-fashioned butchery and local artisan delicacies.

Bleeding Hearts - my absolute favorite.
