first, a note on these letters: with the dawn of spring and the house-cleaning and the fresh start of it all, I am giving Warmly a little refresh, too. I am so grateful for the support I receive for this substack, and I want to pour more energy and time into that. Instead of once or twice a month, I am going to come to this space every week, rotating through four themes so there’s an update for each, each month. One week will be a letter from Vermont with the comings and goings of life at home and on our scrappy homestead (called Noisy Village, see the first post from last week), a week for recipes, a week for craft, and a week for updates from my studio. This week we have the first recipe post, and I’m calling this series Common Kitchen after an oft-quoted poem from Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “Conversations at Midnight:”

“Beautiful as a dandelion-blossom, golden in the green grass,

This life can be.

Common as a dandelion-blossom, beautiful in the clean grass, not beautiful

Because common, beautiful because beautiful,

Noble because common, because free.”

Easter is here, later this year than some years, a holiday I associate with feeling like spring has truly sprung. We’ve been watching the daffodils to see if a few might open in time to arrange some for our Easter brunch table (outlook is very promising) and I’ve been planning in a daydreamy way how these next few days will look – how to make them feel like a celebration but a quiet, simple, mostly just together one.
