COLLEEN'S NEW ENGLAND KITCHEN

Colleen was raised in a family known for talented cooks, hardworking individuals, skilled gardeners, and engaging storytellers. They were characterized by their quick minds, strong spirits, and kind hearts. I invite you to discover a piece of my beloved New England here. I have a deep love for God, people of all ages, and life itself. I am devoted to enhancing the lives of others. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share these important things with you.

           I LOVE...

By Kimberly Bruce Perkins

The sight of a deer in autumns late

The smell of venison on my plate

Mulling cider on the stove

Collecting shells in a cove

Eggs and bacon on a Sunday morn

Carving pumpkins and husking corn

Fickle weather and the changing tide

Meeting the dawn with matching stride

Making a living where you tread

Your greatest comfort being warm and fed.

Knowing a servant of his land

That takes the earth by the hand.

Pleasant evenings and mystic nights

Catching a glimpse of the Northern lights

A drafty barn housing a newborn calf.

When it seems like daylight has been cut in half

Apple pie and banana bread

Warming bricks for the foot of your bed

Fireworks and the Fourth of July

Going to church and knowing why

Snow-covered mountains and a rocky coast

I love these things, but what I love the most.

… Is New England
