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 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”
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”
A Great Harvest Celebration!
We celebrated the end of the harvest season in style here at Rock Run House this past Saturday, November 8th — all of it centered around the historic 1840 timber-frame barn on the property. The day kicked off with our Barn Market, featuring local goods, breadmaking supplies, and extra festive treats for sale. Later inContinueContinue reading “A Great Harvest Celebration!”
Fall Colors
For a range of reasons, the onset of Fall has caught me off-guard this year. I had hardly settled into the thought of summer coming to a close before the official start of Fall occurred. During these next few weeks I need to focus on harvesting. I grew a lot of basil and various otherContinueContinue reading “Fall Colors”
Rock Run Creek
We named the house for the impressive creek that borders the property and runs all the way from Aberfelda Hills to Mad River. The creek is small but mighty, with beautiful falls along its gorge. A good bit of lore is associated with Rock Run, including the story that Tecumseh and his followers escaped theContinueContinue reading “Rock Run Creek”
Our Christmas Event
Visitors to Rock Run slowed down during this busy holiday season and enjoyed an evening of carolers in the courtyard, chamber music in the living room, Dickens in the library, and old world gingerbread made in our antique bread oven. These are just a few of the elements that were a part of our holidayContinueContinue reading “Our Christmas Event”
