Ok, so this post is a week late. That does not in any way diminish the awesomeness that is Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess. The link to her blog is in our blog roll to your right. If you haven’t read her stuff I recommend that you click through. I will, however, warn you. She’s not for the easily offended, she’s fond of four letter words, and she’s from Texas.

My new favorite Etsy Seller
I received this email today and I immediately started cackling when I got to this photo. Naturally, I had to show it to Geoff. Also naturally, it was already sold out by the time I clicked through and got to Etsy. These people are Evil Geniuses.
Finally! A Brimfield Report
We wouldn’t be able to talk about Brimfield if we didn’t talk about the freak June 1, 2011 tornado that ripped through the area last year. Most of our area watched our TVs in horror as a rather large tornado danced down Rt. 20 through Brimfield and Sturbridge and upended homes, trailers, and historic buildings.
We make the news for the most interesting reasons
Local people will probably see this on the news. Before you read on, Geoff was there but was not involved. He’s fine, he was just interviewed for the article.

Yummy?
I got this from Etsy in their daily newsletter yesterday. In small scale it was just confusing and mildly nauseating. When I clicked through to the site it was more confusing and made me want to smack someone.
I guess we’re continuing with the theme
I was reading an article on Boston.com about a rather inspired prank pulled by the graduating class at a local high school when this link at the bottom of the article caught my eye. It was one of those, “if you’re reading this article then you’ll like this one too!” type of things.
Chocolate what???
More Brimfield posts… soon
We promise. But until we can get them done, here’s this.
This is from Etsy seller Long Winter Soap Co. They’re apparently New England people and I totally appreciate their sense of humor.

Our little garden
For over 15 years, I have been a gardener. Specifically, an heirloom gardener and an organic gardener. Although I have always had at least a passing interest in gardening and farming because of my grandparents, I developed an intense interest in them after I started volunteering at Burritt Museum and Park (now known as Burritt on the Mountain) way back in 1995. With some very good mentors (the curator and some experienced guides from the historic park) I quickly learned how to appreciate the older varieties of vegetables that would have been recognizable to someone living in the 19th century. I also learned about herbs and their long history of cultivation.
I love being the fun uncle
Sometimes, it’s just what I need to make me feel good. A few weeks ago Kelly and I hosted our nephews Will and Ben and niece Kate along with their mom, my sister Liz. The kids all had a great time. We ourselves had fun, too. And then a couple of weeks after that we got a card from Liz that included a card from Kate. Apparently she really liked her visit to the butterfly garden at the Museum of Science.
