Worth Quoting
"I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing
in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance
that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. " Henry David Thoreau
More New England proverbs & quotes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes from the Heart...
I love the little birds that are visiting our feeder this spring. But I know they are
feeding on more than just seeds. You see, for birds to raise healthy young they
must eat insects. We have an acquaintance who once complained that there were
no birds in her yard...but how could there be when every inch of it was sprayed
with herbicide and insecticide! No insects, no birds. I am reading a fascinating
book about how to make your yard welcoming for wildlife called "Bringing
Nature Home." (By Douglas W. Tallamy) Check it out. In the meantime, I'm
hoping all these lovely little birds that are eating the birdseed we put out will
also find the black flies (which are about to emerge in the next week or so),
especially tasty! Marcia

This Week's Stories:
Feature: The Covered Bridges of Vermont
Vermont is known to have the most covered bridges per square mile than any
other location in the world. (It is second in total number of bridges to
Pennsylvania) You can plan your search for covered bridges by the counties of
Vermont. There are 12 counties in the state, all of which have a few notable
bridges. Make sure you check out our listing of the covered bridges of New Hampshire too!
Recipe: Asparagus Risotto
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly our rhubarb and asparagus begin
growing within days of having been covered in snow, but this is spring in New
Hampshire, and we know that we will be picking in just a few days. Initially, we
serve them simply, either sautéed in olive oil or butter or boiled in a small
volume of salted water until they turn bright green and just begin to soften. The
great flavor of fresh asparagus is best when the stalks are barely cooked, but,
unfortunately, overcooking asparagus is a common error.
From our Archives: They're BACK! The (Dreaded) Black Flies!
If you live in northern New England, you know that starting around Mother’s
Day and ending around Father’s Day is black fly season. (As my youngest says:
“They must love to bite moms and not dads.”) As far as I know, black flies
(which are also called buffalo gnats) don’t favor either male or female humans –
they only want your blood.
