With a frost warning up, last week I picked all the tomatoes left on the vines. And I do mean vines — these tomatoes were among the most vigorous, the most aggressive I’ve ever grown. I planted them, probably ten or twelve plants, in early June, as usual. I had dressed the garden with a […]
By Sara E. Pratt Lyndeborough Start with breakfast or lunch at the Melting Pot in the town of Wilton. After exploring the myriad downtown shops and taking a peek inside the 1886 brick Town Hall Theatre head west out of town on Route 101. Pass the junction with Route 31 South and begin looking for […]
By Eileen Terrill Managing Editor, Yankee Magazine One of my favorite fall jaunts in the Monadnock region is a weekend excursion to Old Number Six Book Depot in Henniker (603-428-3334). With 160,000 volumes, it maintains the biggest stock of any used bookstore in New Hampshire. But half the fun is getting there — up over […]

Imagine most people would say that love is the most potent four-letter word in our language. I agree. But home isn’t far behind. Home carries so many images for each of us. I didn’t realize until I saw this September/October issue spread across the walls of our conference room, where art director Lori Pedrick hangs […]
In the frozen grips of a fierce storm on Mt. Katahdin, each man’s choice was his own. On Thursday evening, January 31, 1974, a fierce winter storm cut a swath of destruction across northern New England. It tore roofs off of mobile homes and tossed them into nearby trees, and sent tree limbs crashing into […]
Yankee classic from August 1991 Those who first climbed Mount Monadnock for fun in the early 1800s probably went in search of those blueberries of which Thoreau wrote. Hikers today can still scale Monadnock’s slopes and return with buckets brimming with berries. There may be easier places to find that azure fruit, but perhaps none […]
Yankee classic from March 1999 On May 1, 1992, Larry Davis climbed Mount Monadnock. He liked it so much that he did it the next day, too. And the next. And the next. And every day after that. In fact, barring any mischance between the day of this writing and March 1, 1999, Larry Davis […]
On hot mornings like this one, I start early when it’s still (relatively) cool. Last weekend, I planted the vegetable garden, and later, morning glories on the porch posts. I need to keep these well watered, at least for their first week, and more if the heat continues. I only have one faucet, which is […]
