This post should really be titled: The Last Few Weeks at Rock Run House. We have had a busy time of it lately. So busy that I haven’t taken the time to post at all, which means that this Monday’s post will have to serve as a recap of our Spring celebrations as well asContinueContinue reading “May 18th: This Week at Rock Run House”

April 27th: This Week at Rock Run House
Big things are happening around here this Spring (well, big to us anyway). Just a few of the projects: Finishing the bottom floor of the 19th-century Springhouse and landscaping around the entrance Expanding the cut flower garden Fixing one of the floors in the barn Paul working in the Springhouse A lot more wishes/dreams/hopes/plans areContinueContinue reading “April 27th: This Week at Rock Run House”
April 6th: This Week at Rock Run House
As I write this, the weather has turned cold again, reminding us all of the fickleness of Spring. Not that I am tempted to plant the garden too early or anything — I don’t even have a single seed started. This is the most sluggish I have ever been since I began gardening more seriously.ContinueContinue reading “April 6th: This Week at Rock Run House”
March 30th: This Week at Rock Run House
We just wrapped up a busy weekend for our family, with two of our kids performing in an adaptation of The Hobbit. The play was a delight; the cast had a great time, and everyone involved is exhausted. My daughter and I attended a baby shower for my niece this past Saturday as well. TheContinueContinue reading “March 30th: This Week at Rock Run House”
March 23: This Week at Rock Run House
Things are picking up around here, which includes the roof of what we call The Grotto. Paul bravely faced the windstorm to repair the roof with riveted screws to keep it where it should be, even though this crazy March wind had other ideas. It was blowing so wildly that a little owl (maybe aContinueContinue reading “March 23: This Week at Rock Run House”
March 16: This Week at Rock Run House
I can definitely tell I’m emerging from hibernation (unlike Ollie the Dog in the accompanying photo) because I sent out an email newsletter this morning. Every month, I tell myself to send out a newsletter and most months, I don’t manage to get it done. HOWEVER, this will no doubt change going forward, as theContinueContinue reading “March 16: This Week at Rock Run House”
Hibernating
After the intense holiday season, January and February have found me in full-on hibernation mode. Full disclosure: I haven’t even put all the Christmas decorations away. We still have the Christmas village set up in the guest room. And due to the lack of overnight guests (plus my general malaise), I have not found itContinueContinue reading “Hibernating”
The Perfect Snowfall
We don’t often kick off December with snow, but this year we have a perfectly picturesque snowfall to put us in a Christmas sort of mood. Which I could use, to be honest, as I have a lot of decking of the halls to do, both for our family’s own celebration and the Christmas atContinueContinue reading “The Perfect Snowfall”
Breadstand This Weekend
If you’re local, we hope you’re able to stop by the Breadstand this weekend for some fresh sourdough loaves and whatever else we come up with! The bake schedule next weekend will be a little wacky because of the holiday, so we’re hoping to be able to offer baked goods every day right through nextContinueContinue reading “Breadstand This Weekend”
Christmas at Rock Run House
November finds us very busy prepping for Thanksgiving: planning extra baked goods for the Breadstand here at Rock Run and for our upcoming celebration with extended family. And of course, while all this is happening, we are also working to prepare for Christmas at Rock Run House. We are SO excited to bring the sightsContinueContinue reading “Christmas at Rock Run House”
