I'm more of a Gwyneth...

Heidi here!

I think Sandra Bullock playing Monique is right on the money, but I'm not sure Reese Witherspoon is the best fit to play me. I know Gwyneth is VERY over-exposed right now (country music? Goop blog? Oh dear!) but she's more my style any day. No offense to Reese. She's just adorable in her own way.

Who is going to play Chunk and Punk though? They are both confused by this unseasonably warm weather we are having and who can blame them? By now, it should be much cooler than it is, although our evenings are starting to be nippy.



Here's Punk, sourcing organic berries for a crisp he is making. Maybe he should just play himself. Isn't he handsome?

The Mini Donkey Bump

I'm not saying we invented this expression -- or even that we are actually capable of getting people engaged to be married who didn't like each other before (see Donkeys of Peace and Love for more on that). We aren't a big studio romantic comedy!

Sidenote: Should we be? People love mini donkeys. People love to laugh and love...You do the math! I want to be played by Sandy Bullock. Heidi could be played by Reese Witherspoon. But that's really her call.

But we did give the Shed Horn Cellars dinner the mini donkey bump. The event is now sold out.

Oh no, you say! It's the gorgeous mild, sunny weather you are having up there.

It's the festive bustle of Mushroom Season and the annual Wine & Mushroom Festival with all its attendant events -- mushroom foraging walks, delicious tastings and dinners, etc., etc.

But you would be wrong.

All you have to do is look hard into our melting brown eyes to know the TRUTH.

We rule.

Love, Monique (and Heidi)
