Holiday Ideas for the Gardener

The weather outside is chilly, the garden tools are all put away, the garden is sleeping, but the gardener is busy getting ready for the holidays.

The bustle of preparations for seasonal entertaining and gift giving can have special meaning for the gardener who has been preparing since spring (or even last fall) for favorite foods, decorations and gifts for the holidays.

Local coffee shops offer more than just your morning cup

Don’t be fooled by its diminutive size – Le Cup packs a lot more into its storefront than your favorite soy latte. Keri Roehl, who opened Le Cup earlier this year on Front Street, makes brown-bag lunches, English Muffin breakfast sandwiches, and a popular Saturday morning breakfast that changes each week (anyone for a blueberry and bacon waffle?).
