Maybe you already knew this, but in case you didn't: I'm a real home-body. I love being home. I love spending mornings in my kitchen, I love rearranging the furniture, I love hanging clothes on the line to dry, I kind of like hanging shelves, and I prefer to stay in my pajamas rather than put on "real clothes".

Friday morning we head out for new/old home - back to Vermont. We'll drive about 20 hours and roll up to a sweet house with a big barn and two of our favorite people in the whole world. This means the blog will be on a little break, but when it comes back it'll be better than ever. There will be a big garden, enough people in the house to warrant making desserts regularly, better lighting, probably some home improvement projects (repainting a bath tub, anyone?), and more!

In the meantime, I suggest you check out the blog by Ashley English: Small Measure. I picked up a copy of her book Keeping Chickens with Ashley English today in order to prepare for the flock I hope to be tending at our new house. (I could inundate you with cat pictures, but I'd rather overwhelm you with chicken pictures.)

You could also pass the time making this Swiss Easter Rice Tart! George was big, big fan of this because it's not terribly sweet. It is, however, terribly delicious.
