It's finally spring!

Here's what's FRESH this week: our first goose egg, bulbs, and expert egg advice from Martha!

Happy Sunday! I hope you all had an excellent week! Here’s what’s been going on around here.

Despite a bit of snow this past week, it’s finally spring! Our egg factory is open and the geese have even started laying eggs again.

It’s egg season, think deviled eggs, egg salad, etc. so I chatted with the editors over at Martha.com about how long to cook eggs for the perfect hard boil, or soft-boiled, if that’s more your jam.

It’s also almost ice cream season, and I love nothing better on ice cream than a great salted caramel sauce. Coop’s is a winner for me on several fronts. First, the name. Coops is our corgi Cooper’s nickname (well, one of many!). Then we need to talk about the packaging. I love the drips down the side of the jar. And lastly, it’s really, really, good salted caramel. With just 6 non-GMO ingredients, you can feel good drizzling it over your homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

I am always amazed at the resilience of bulbs and other perennials here in Maine. They persevere through the cold and snow, and as soon as the soil warms up just a bit, they poke their heads out to bloom through another season. In no time we’ll have tulips, daffodils ….and garlic. (As long as the chickens don’t dig them up, that is!)

We’re still settling into life with Ingrid, which is chaotic, noisy, and loving - all at the same time. She’s a bossy snugglebug. And we couldn’t be happier.
