Birthday Crown and Wooden Toys for Sal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I made my first birthday crown many many years ago. It was something I started with very high hopes that I would continue on for many years, but also with the preconceived skepticism of someone who drops well intention projects once they lose their novelty. But alas, I did not drop it from my yearly rotation and have continued on making them. I've misse… Read more
Wild Blueberry Soda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Classically, we pick blueberries by hand and over a few sessions. Maine wild blueberries grow close to the ground in small clumps, dotting rolling hills all the way from the coast to inland. We’ll gather a gallon or two that we freeze for the winter, knowing they’ll only last a few weeks before we start buying them frozen and bagged from the grocery store.This year, as the end of summer crept in, we stood over the grill on the edge of our friend’s blueberry field, the sun slowly setting behind t

We’re on the brink of high season over here. The air is hot and wet, the kitchen is full of flies, and I swat at them with a dish towel, trying to hit one while simultaneously shooing the chickens back out the doorway where they appear over and over again, waiting to be invited in to gobble up the inevitable crumbs left on the floor.“We need a screen door!” I yell to Anthony, who is perched at the very top of a ladder nailing clapboards onto the house.“I can’t think about anything else until the
July - Part 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the first things I took Anthony to do after he moved to Maine was squid fishing. We’d join our friends along the docks with fishing poles and hand lines, pulling squid after squid from the harbor as darkness settled in. We’d head home with our haul and cook them immediately in a hot pan with nothing more than salt. Sometimes we’d overcook them, s… Read more
