I’ve spent much (five hours) of today watching episodes of Mad Men attempting to catch up by tonight’s season two debut. Now, well, I’ve given up. I’ve only made it through five episodes! There were a few things that drew me to the show; 1) A compelling interview on [...]
With the recent heightened awareness of climbing food prices and the importance of buying local I’ve been feeling really lucky to have Terry’s Berries & Spooner Farms so close to home. Having their delicious, low priced berries around has really brightened the last two summers.
