Morning Glory Inspiration

This is how it all began.
At 4 corners farm   4 Corners Farm   in W. Newbury, VT, I am so impressed by this wall of morning glories, year after year that I had to make something as dramatic. I hope my morning glory greenhouse will be as good.
see previous  post.

Day at Team O'neil Rally

If you look at the post for Jan. 2017, you will meet Graham Cullen. Sporting a winter beard, he raced his Saab 96 at the Canaan, NH fairgrounds for some practice. This post highlights some of the many activities at the Team O'Neill Rally School in Dalton, NH. This event is called a rally sprint. Again, more practice and a time to work out the bugs before a larger rally in July, the New England Forest Rally in Newry, ME.

Saab 96 1973 racing at the rally sprint in Dalton, NH at the Team O'neill rally school. Graham ( adjusting engine) and his friend Tom Kimsey
 ( eating sandwich) decided to find out about a problem with the engine.
During lunch break, Graham determined that a head gasket most likely had blown.


You can hear the engine in the video.

This was disappointing for them, but they know what to do about it and will be ready for NEFR.

here is the little beauty mid air

Signs of Spring

Fresh chives with arugula, baby spinach, a spicy and a hardy mesclun taste so fantastic after a winter of the dreadful lettuces we buy around here. Spring is here and the greenhouse is not getting too hot on sunny days requiring opening it up and ventilating. These are good times.
