well hello 2014
it’s kind of lovely to see you here
all sparkly and new
with your promises and options a plenty
I like it
a new chapter
a new branch of the apple tree.
So what’s coming up in this little space?…
there will be a slice of Cherry and Rhubarb Pie
a moment of pride
conversations on the ethics of what we eat
and I’m hoping, a new challenge
2014
lets get crackin.
**************
How about you? What plans do you have for the next month, or if you are a super duper planner, what’s coming up for the whole year?
happy new year brydie – looking forward to the sparkles of the new year and your pie

I’ve also been meaning to let you know that I asked for Changing Gears for Christmas, and got it, and read it, and LOVED it! Thanks for the recommendation – and I loved your mention in it too xo

It’s an awesome read isn’t it Kari. I’m so glad you loved it. So many parts of the book made me think far longer than just the reading of the page… and I’m afraid I can never look at dhal again without chuckling a little and thinking “communal hippy slop”.
(I’m famous now after my paragraph mention right? ;-))

You are! And like you, the thinking time has lingered far longer than the reading time. I hope it continues to linger, too 🙂

Happy 2014 – Year of the Horse (bye bye Dragon). SPiCEY son and I are doing origami so it’s on the brain. Wishing you a fantastic crop for your pie & many many more.
We bought a Barbados cherry a month or so ago, which gifted us with about a dozen wonderful fruits so I’m hoping to make pie myself this year. 😉
Looking forward to your blog for 2014.

Happy New Year! 2014 is hopefully the year that we get on top of Serendipity Farms processes and arrive at the other side after taming at least some of the beast. Starting out the year with painting the deck, railings and part of the exterior of the house…nothing like starting out how you mean to finish off ;).
LikeLike
See I like to do the opposite. I finish the year with how I want to begin it. Sort of like sneaking up on myself, (wait does that even make sense?…never mind 😉

I guess we did that this year as well…we started prepping the deck last year (on Monday) and are hard at it still… I like the cut of your jib ma’am! Carry on… you are doing a sterling job! 🙂

Happy new year, Brydie! I’m planning on learning some new gluten free desserts and knitting a few shawls of wool- plus dong some more traveling to New York to visit my grandsons in the coming

More of the same – but with completely joyous results!
