First #corgi playdate with Tillie in the snow. Pericles & Tillie took turns being the chaser and the chaser. Tillie is strategic, waiting to cut Peri off while he runs at least two times more than she does. He’s got some good, evasive maneuvers.

The sun put on quite a show on Saturday morning. This was the apocalyptic scene from my bedroom window. Glad I’m not a sailor.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Just came across this pic of #corgi ‘s firts Christmas. Pericles was exhausted from all the hullabaloo.

First true #snowstorm of the season arriving now in the #berkshires

My #vegan salted maple ginger pie, a @nytimes.com recipe, took its place on the #thanksgiving dessert table last night. It was a hit! Not a lot leftover; everyone (omnivores included) loved it. First time using a springform pan. Gingersnap crust was easy. Secret ingredient: Japanese sweet potato.

It’s another #twoferTuesday with Tillie, Peri’s best #corgi buddy since Pudding left the #berkshires They got in a good hour of chase, some wrassling, and lots of slobbers. Pericles will sleep well tonight!

#tgiCorgi Pericles enjoyed another day in #hudsonny doing what one does in Hudson: scouting the antiques markets and going out for a nice meal. He was overjoyed to find that the new-ish Yummy Kitchen is dog-friendly—at least if you’re a #corgi

In today’s #veggiegarden news, we #harvested the last of the #purplecabbage as weather in the #berkshires continues to fall. We need to find recipes beyond our favorite stir fry and Asian slaw dishes!

We’ve had light snow all week in the #berkshires yet the #veggiegarden keeps on growing. With this late-season #harvest we’re making zhoug, parsley pesto, sauté rainbow chard & kale Caesar salad to go with the lettuces still in the #garden

Got a new rug and Pericles approves as it’s #corgi color-coordinated.

First #snow in the #berkshires
Just barely a dusting but a sign of what’s in store

Saw this in the freezer dept of our local supermarket. What fresh hell is this? How is a food "GLP-1 Friendly" beyond smaller portions? Is this just another excuse to charge more for less? Please fill me in.

Our #Berkshires #veggiegarden keeps on growing! Yesterday’s #havest: #rainbowchard #tuscankale & parsley. The #kale went into a fabulous recipe from @nytimes.com — Gochujang Potato Stew, hearty, #gf & #vegan with easy sub for honey.

More #rainbowchard for dinner as we eat through our #veggiegarden before the #berkshires weather kills it all. Tonight Prince Charming made chard leaf #dolmas, stuffed with brown rice, parsley, minced chard stems, pumfu, capers, lemon zest & walnuts. They’re #vegsn,#glutenfree & delicious!

Weekend plans include Western Mass #vegan Fest at Abandoned Building Brewery in Easthampton. The first one a few months ago was a madhouse. I hope it's better organized this time! Looking forward to picking up some yummy baked goods from @littleloafbakeshop.bsky.social Sad it's not pup-friendly tho.

We have weird weather in the #berkshires, unseasonable warmth followed by sharp drops in temperature. After two serious freezes, here’s what still grows in our #veggiegarden: #redcabbage, 2 kinds of #kale, 2 kinds of parsley, mixed lettuces & #rainbowchard.

Pericles had a surprise sleepover guest this weekend. He was a gracious host to Albert, shared his bed and all his toys, and they played well together, Peri modulated for Albert’s size and age.

My favorite roadside trees for #fallfoliage. Even in a not-so-great season for #autumn color in the #Berkshires these trees are mesmerizing.

Not a great #foliage season in the #berkshires but beautiful nevertheless.

Rainy day + vaccinations make Pericles a sad, tired #corgi
