• I will miss you @cookspacebk. I’m so sorry you have to close this chapter of the Cook Space Story. You expanded my “culinary creativity”. . I made this 🍎 pie during non-Covid time. Pie making was never really my thing, but I became inspired during blueberry and apple season here in Connecticut and went a little nutty baking. . So I celebrate small businesses in towns across the World, doing my part to help keep those in my own community open. Sometimes no matter what they close, it’s hard now. . Do what you can. Thank you. #littlestoriesofmylife#adayinthelife#supportlocalfarms#littlestoriesofmylife#supportsmallbusiness#cookspacebk#applepicking#applepie

  • It’s Saturday in Connecticut and it still looks like summer. My three hives need my attention, but soon they will be slowing down after the golden rod leaves and the last harvest happens. . I have to move my hives in Fairfield/Westport (and me as their beekeeper still) so if you know of any happy location for my hives give a shout. We are really no problem at all! Living at the beach like Steve and I do has thousands of advantages (long list) and living with bees is not one of them. . The white on the bees is confectioners’ sugar, this is what is we can use to check for black mites. . #womeninbeekeeping#beekeeping#backyardbeekeeping#beekeeper#honeycomb#beekeeper#rawhoney#foodstories#momentslikethese#theartofslowlivin#abeautifulmess#livebeautifully#pursuepretty#gatheringslikethese

  • This is the week I would be working at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in Bridgehampton NY, culminating with the Grand Prix on Sunday. The press office has been my home for around 30 years, working with Marty and his team to manage the tip top publications that follow the best show jumping in the world. . I know many of us are in deep sadness that the show is not happening this year due to COVID and yet there is a knowing 2021 will be awesome! . I saw a few horse photos in my lightroom today, so here they are. I pause each year and grab my camera and take a few photographs. . . . . . #hamptonclassic @hamptonclassic #equitation #horseshow #equestrian #equine #horse #instahorse #showjumping #horsesofinstagram #momentslikethese #littlestoriesofmylife

  • It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to the summer and the weather in the northeast, and my hydrangeas of course! Stef came home and helped us get our garden and what you see here a bit under control. That blue gorgeousness is certainly healthy now, all thanks to Steve and Stef. Enjoy your time wherever you are. . . . . @stefanielyssa @cambridgebotanica @arjuna44 #flowers #floral #florals #botanicalpickmeup #pursuepretty #livecolorfully #rsblooms #flowersofinstagram #myweekofblooms #livebeautifully #hydrangea

  • This is down the street by Jennings Beach. I’m always taken by this little bridge with the numerous flags which seem to go on forever and ever. You can barely see our house wayyyy at the end where all the white houses are. . Way way way down there is New York City about 75 minutes away. I’m off to the city for the day. I’m looking forward to it. It’s healthier here now, and we hope it all stays that way. Thanks to everyone’s very hard work.

  • It’s National Honeybee Day. So happy for my little girls who are doing such a great job this year. Let’s do everything we can to save the bees.

  • Sixteen years ago today I married the man of my dreams. Thank you for this great life we have. I love you, and Happy Anniversary, Steve. Naturally we had blue hydrangeas flown into The Reefs @thereefs in Bermuda. There was a hurricane during the week. And the perfect balance of family and friends made it to the island. Now with the pandemic these sweet moments mean so much more. @arjuna44 . . #bermuda #thereefs #hydrangea #wedding #anniversary #destinationwedding

  • My hydrangeas. Thank goodness Stef and Matthew were visiting at the same time our garden needed a bit their love …and their expertise. Some of these gorgeous flowers had to be cut back a bit. How lucky am I? I’m thinking of you all on this warm day in the northeast. @stefanielyssa (and 📸) @mgglover @arjuna44 . . . #flowers#floral#florals#botanicalpickmeup#pursuepretty#livecolorfully#rsblooms#flowersofinstagram#myweekofblooms#livebeautifully#hydrangea

  • I had a swarm today with my bees. My first. Some bees, following the queen, went right to the tallest tree you see here, my friends and fellow beekeepers put out a box to catch them but they decided to fly to another home. Those remaining are building another queen, you can see a peanut looking piece on the frame. She will come out soon and start laying eggs. . My friend Julie had a swarm with her bees one mile away and I witnessed that one too (see last 3 photos) rather closely I might add. Bees can feel crowded in their hive and decided to defect, make another queen and carry on. Ok. It was zen-like, they were so gentle and I sat with Julie’s for the longest time. . Some beautiful moments during this time. Thank you Jim @tbvranger, Julie @quatrobiscotti, @melissagryspeerdt all fantastic beekeepers and so quick help the bees in a pinch. . #womeninbeekeeping#beekeeping#backyardbeekeeping#beekeeper #newmoonhoney
