If you can’t make it to Fenway on Friday to celebrate the park’s 100th anniversary, that’s no reason not to make an event of it at home! And since watching and munching go hand in hand, snacks should definitely be involved. We think both kids and adults will enjoy a batch of Oven Baked Caramel […]

In New England Old Is Good
Welcome to the April 2012 edition of Jud’s New England Journal, the rather curious monthly musings of Judson Hale, the Editor-in-Chief of Yankee Magazine, published since 1935 in Dublin, N.H. In New England Old Is Good That is, in most cases. (But not all.) It’s true that in New England old is good while new […]
Often referred to as the quintessential Vermont town by travel guides and magazines, Woodstock, Vermont, ups the aesthetic ante for historic charm. Stately old homes and buildings—Georgian Colonials, Federal-style, and Greek Revivals—circle the Green and are scattered throughout the village. With no ghastly power lines in Woodstock proper (they are all buried), it’s easy to […]
Two feet of snow in falling October has brought about a bit of an abrupt end to the foliage season, but after one of the more atypical foliage seasons in years, I guess little would have surprised me.

But Yankee Publishing […]

The event is held the weekend before what is widely known as National Pie Day each year. The festivities begin on Saturday and include wine […]

Indentifying Animal Tracks (Unsuccessfully)
As a person who loves the outdoors, I’ve always admired people who are astute observers of the natural world. I am not one of them, not even close. Try as a might, I am no Goodall or Thoreau. I am impressed with myself if I can figure out the difference between a pine tree or […]
