Out and About - August


I pretty much spent the month preparing for the first meeting of the Maryland Chapter of the Tasha Tudor Museum Society.  I made a poster and found a few places in town that let me post it.  I also sent it to my paper along with a write-up.  I was really quite shocked that a reporter contacted me and said she'd like to attend the meeting and write a story about it.  Plus, a photographer was coming.  So with the local advertisement completed I started reading all the biographical books on Tasha, watched the videos, and went through most of her books looking for ideas for our meetings. . . .

Gabriel's Garden Tour


Hello!  I'm over here on the front stoop!  My name is Gabriel.  Fiona Goosefeathers over at Hopalong Hollow Gazette gave a tour of her Mistress's garden.  Mom thought that was a great idea so she decided since she's been so busy getting ready for her Tasha Tudor Tea she'd ask me to take you on a tour of our garden for her. . . .

Inspirational Music Video

I've not had much to say because I've been immersing myself in all things Tasha Tudor this month in preparation for starting the Maryland Chapter of the Tasha Tudor Museum Society.  I came across this video on YouTube by Wayne Wallace set to David Neuvue's "Be Still My Soul".  The video reminded me of a Monet painting and coupled with the music you can become quite lost in the wonderfulness of God's beautiful creation.  If you click on the lower right-hand corner you can make the video full screen.

The Best Blueberry Muffins

We went blueberry picking last week.  I discovered Frog Eye Blueberry Farm for the first time last summer when I was looking for an All-American activity for our French exchange student who was spending three weeks with us.  When we got home I looked through my recipe book and found The Best Blueberry Muffins recipe in a little Muffins cookbook by Elizabeth Alston.  They really ARE the best blueberry muffins I've ever tasted, so I thought the recipe was worth sharing with you.


First, you must get in your car and drive to Frog Eye Blueberry Farm.  You will come upon a little hamlet called Burkittsville. . . .
