Herb Festival!

Our Fall Herb Festival is happening in just 2 short weeks...it doesn't seem possible that summer is over already, and leaves will be starting to turn soon. Saturday October 11 we will host our second herb festival, the first in the fall. We are hoping for more herb and garden themed crafts and gifts, as well as our other guests from the spring. What better time to plant than fall? Tidy up the garden, and plan for next year, get rain barrels installed...and of course October weather is usually gorgeous.

Ducklings are nearly grown, and the fluffy chicks are teenagers - they eat all the time! Grass is their favorite, and when one spies a bug - watch out - the others come to fight over it...they should begin laying in a few weeks, so nesting boxes are on my 'to do' list for this month.

We are all trying to save money this year, I know - we are starting our winter special a bit early this year - stay from December 15th through March 30th - any room, just $125 per night...you can't get away from the city for better than that! Our breakfasts get you off to a great start - for locals, we can have you back to work and feeing like you have taken a much longer holiday than just a mid-week overnighter...don't forget about gift certificates too - great gifts for family or coworkers - and a great class gift for a teacher.

Enjoy the early fall winter will be here before we know it (cozy fireplaces anyone?)
