Relationship break-ups. A death in the family. An excruciating fashion disaster. COVID-19. When the tough times come, who do most women turn to? They call a female friend. The importance of the bosom buddy remains largely constant throughout our lives. BFFs can share the burden of worries, help us cope with trouble, reduce stress, increase self-confidence, shore us up when weâre low and take us down a peg when weâre too damned pleased with ourselves.
Theyâre often the only ones who are brutally honest. When I bought a beautiful pink flouncy silk dress the other day that made me feel like the Sugar Plum Fairy, no one said a word except my closest female friend. âThat makes you look fat and frumpy,â she said. The dress went back immediately.

The Abenaki Land Link Project, a partnership of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk-Abenaki Nation, NOFA-VT and the Vermont Farm to Plate Networkâs Rooted in Vermont program, wrapped up its pilot year this fall.
Beginning in spring 2020, 15 growers from around Vermont planted traditional Abenaki crops with seeds provided by the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk. Many of these seeds were originally sourced by Dr. Fred Wiseman and the âSeeds of Renewalâ project.
The growers sowed, tended and harvested Koasek/Calais mix and Calais flint corn, true cranberry, skunk, and Mohawk beans, and Algonquin squash, yielding over 520 pounds of squash, 30 pounds of beans, and 30 pounds of cornmeal. All of the food is being returned to Abenaki citizens this winter with priority being given to elders, those with disabilities, and those who are food insecure.
