A gift of potted tulips in late winter feels like a quiet promise set on the windowsill.

"These March winds which make the woods roar and fill the world with life and bustle, appear to wake up the trees out of their winter sleep and excite the sap to flow". - -Henry David Thoreau

Thanks New Hampshire Home Magazine @nhhomemag for giving me the “parting shot” in the January/February issue.

Thanks so much New Hampshire Home Magazine and writer, Robin Sweetser for the beautiful feature on our winter garden here at Juniper Hill Farm! 

With temp around 20F and a light snow falling, it was a pleasant walk this afternoon. 

Usually, New Englanders don’t complain much about the cold.  It’s winter, after all, and you get used to it.  They also don’t complain much about the snow.

Looking down from the top of the pasture today, the farm had a real Currier and Ives look to it with smoke from the wood stove billowing out of the chimney.

Cold New Hampshire mornings and a little light snow falling are enough to put you in a holiday mood. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Last week was a beautiful December week. A little snow brightened the landscape. There was some gorgeous light, both from the Cold Moon in the sky-the last full moon of the year- and from the morning light that streamed through the windows.

Molinia arundinacea ‘skyracer’ is such a beautiful and elegant grass against the white snow.

An early snow brightened the landscape during Thanksgiving week.

At this time of year, many New Englanders share a common purpose: Getting firewood stacked and under cover before the real winter weather hits.
