Up until last year I hadn’t had a garden for about 20 years, so a few of us decided to go with this idea of garden. We had the right amount of rain and it flourished along with weeds. We picked green beans until we never wanted to see a green bean again :0 but now we want to do this all over again. Are we crazy? I get some kind of a high going and buying seeds, planting isn’t bad but the harvesting is another story however, eating the product all winter was very good and satisfying. Keith is working on getting the field plowed so we can work the ground. If you are from the city this might give some idea what goes into that food you buy at the super market.

Next week I’m going to the flower auction to get some bedding plants. Just do a search for Weaverland Auction and it will bring the business page. Flowers are not my forte since I just can’t keep them alive, so we hope they last for at least a week for pictures. (work for the new website)

Spring has finally arrived and Hershey Park is going to be open for 2 weekends in April- Easter weekend and the following weekend. You can make your plans now to be there for all the excitement. Read carefully the “specials” that Hershey lodging offers and then look at what we offer. Twenty minutes isn’t far and cheaper.

We are just one week from the biggest quilt show to hit Lancaster County (AQS) and we are excited to welcome all the quilters. Many things are planned for the attendees by the organizer as well as the Authentic B&B Association. If you are coming check your program booklet for that special event. If you read this please see me I’ll be one of those people wearing a yellow apron on Thursday night.

I’m so happy Spring is almost here. That means you (okay, some of you) get a Spring Break. Lancaster area is a great idea to enjoy that time, we are known to have an abundance of things to do  and are reasonably priced. Although Easter is early some flowers will be blooming (my crocus are ready to pop) and the grass will be green. Our attractions in Lancaster and Hershey will be open and ready to accommodate you; Hershey Trolley Tour, Sight and Sound, Amish Farm and House, and more. Here on the farm we will have a new calf and possibly some kittens.

If you’ve never been to a Sight and Sound production www.Sight-sound.com you have missed out on a great experience. My first show was the Easter production and I went with my daughter and a bunch of school kids. Since she went in protest, I was thrilled that by intermission she was asking if she could audition for one of the shows. Well, that never happened, but none the less, at 13ish she was excited and so was I. That happened many years ago and the shows still set my heart to racing. Glenn Eshelman (who was ahead of me in school) must dream this stuff. Not the material, that is from scripture, but how to make it come to life. When Noah was playing I was sobered by the family of the daughter-in-laws pounding on the ark when the rains came. That is not in scripture but could very well have happened since Noah spent many years warning the people. Each show makes it so real.
