This last Saturday was the first for Winterthur’s Farmstand. A beautiful day and farm fresh vegetables combined to create a successful day for our farmers, Tim and Amy, and HG Haskell of SIW Vegetables.

I saw the most amazing thing yesterday on the path behind the Museum Store: a pair of cardinals (mom & dad) teaching their baby chick how to fly. At first, after almost stepping on the baby birdie, I thought the babe had fallen out of its nest (or worse, been kicked out of the house) by its parents. But mom & dad made their presence known and were not too happy to see me so close to their offspring. That was when I figured out that I had stumbled onto something special and sweet. When I left them, the lesson was still going on and when I returned later the family was gone. Hopefully they headed to the beach which is where I’m going!
