My love song to Upper Valley has two themes: seasonality and sustainability. This blog is organized by month, with seasonally appropriate photos, essays, and recipes. Sustainable living practices naturally partner with the seasons.
Life in Upper Valley is dominated by the seasons. The rythmn and pace of life is dictated by the weather and all its vagaries. Upper Valley can be hot, and it can be cold. There is lots of snow, and a fair amount of rain. These conditions change from month to month, but can vary from year to year.
With a short growing season and often harsh winter, sustainability becomes a looming issue to residents of Upper Valley. Lessons learned here can be applied in a larger context if we but pay attention.
