We love pumpkins and gourds!

All of a sudden the weather turned cold.  Sharkey and I put on our warm jackets and went outside to see what was new in the world.  We were so happy to find that many pumpkins and gourds had been arranged for decorations.  We love pumpkins and Martha grows many unusual varieties.  Come and take …

Visiting one of Martha's favorite local markets

We went to so many great stores on our tour of Katonah, but no visit would be complete without seeing one of Martha’s favorite markets, Sgaglio’s.  They sell high-quality meats, poultry, fish, local produce, prepared foods, and imported products.  Plus, we like seeing all the nice people who work there.  We hope that Jessica comes …

Yesterday, we blogged about showing Jessica, Martha’s new executive assistant, the hamlet of Katonah.  It was quite a little tour we gave and thought you’d enjoy seeing Part Two.  We Frenchies enjoy being tour guides and we certainly like Katonah and all the nice people there.

Francesca and I live in a house that now has five cats.  I know – we haven’t shown you any pictures of the new calico Persian kittens yet.  Truth be told, we haven’t seen much of them ourselves.  In fact, we find that cats are just so darn aloof.  Why don’t they ever want to …

Uncle Carlos was driving through Mt. Kisco, New York recently, when he noticed a store called Just Dogs Gourmet. A sign in the window said that dogs are welcome so, the other day, we went on a little field trip. The store is bright and cheerful and is filled with really great things …

You know how much we Frenchies love to drive and Uncle Carlos took us to a really fun place the other day.  It’s called Grand Prix New York, located in nearby Mount Kisco.  This is an amazing place where you can go and drive little racecars around two beautiful indoor tracks.  They told us that …

This past weekend, Martha took us back to Skylands, in Maine.  Because of the approaching Hurricane Bill, the weather was a bit rough for a couple of days.  However, that never stops us from going out and exploring nature and we had a great time at the Seal Harbor beach.

Pondering the beauty of Skylands

Sharkey and I really love to visit Skylands in Maine. Last weekend, we went there with Martha and we did so much walking. Fortunately, there are many comfortable places to sit and rest and we did plenty of that, too.

We found the garlic and onions!

Posted by Francesca

The other day, Martha and Shaun, the gardener, were discussing the fact that the onions and garlic needed to be harvested. Shaun had planted many, many varieties of onions last spring and there was plenty of garlic planted last autumn. Sharkey and I heard them talking about how you must cure the crop …
