Phase-out
Scott Richardson ~ 2010-02-18
This will be the last blog entry at laudholm.org.
We began this experiment in late 2005 as an attempt to get news and information out to members and supporters more quickly. Four years and nearly 200 entries later, we can see that we have largely succeeded.
So we’ll keep on blogging, but from here on out we’ll join efforts with the Wells Reserve on a new combined website, which is set to launch within a fortnight. When the time comes, visitors to the laudholm domain will be automatically redirected to wellsreserve.org.
The best of this old blog is being folded into the new, our event information will tie directly into an improved calendar, and your contributions will be, perhaps, just a bit easier to make.
See you there.
Winter Program Calendar
Scott Richardson ~ 2008-01-10
Our winter calendar of programs and events has gone to press and will be mailed to members as soon as we have it in hand. If you just can’t wait to see what’s coming up from now to April, you can download a PDF right now.
We will add details to the online calendar, and that’s where you can find additions and last-minute changes to the schedule.
Joyeux Anniversaire, Karen
Scott Richardson ~ 2007-11-27
We Love Karen…
(sung to the tune of “I Love Paris in the Springtime”)
We love Karen here at Laudholm
We love Karen spring and fall
We think she’s so special, oh why oh why
Is she so special?
Now’s our chance to say it all.
She brings magic, joy and laughter
She brings cupcakes, pies and more
She turns gloom and doom to sunshine
She makes working less a chore
refrain
She drives out evil spirits that haunt us,
She wears clothes that make ours pale
She loves the frost and snow of winter
She makes every day a tale
refrain
Happy, happy birthday, Karen
Now’s our chance to drink a toast to you
We’re so glad that you work among us,
It’s our day to give you your just dues.
refrain
Happy birthday and thank you, Karen, from all of us.

Stories of Laudholm
Scott Richardson ~ 2007-10-24
As part of our 25th anniversary, we created a video to tell the story of the very early days of the effort to save Laudholm Farm. The video, produced by William Lord, debuted at our August celebratory dinner and was very well received.
Here is a short preview of the 17-minute video. To order a DVD with the full video, simply click on the ‘Add to Cart’ button below.
Punkinfiddle Pumpkins
Scott Richardson ~ 2007-10-01
Saturday was a perfect day for Punkinfiddle, A National Estuaries Day Celebration. Here’s just one of the highlights, a new addition in 2007: Mr. Auger’s pumpkins. Hours of carving resulted in these two friendly faces.
Want to see more of Mr. Auger’s work? Look here.
