Brand New Year

Hi everyone! 2012 is finally behind us, and we are well into '13. What a season we had last year. Every festival we did save one was subjected to the worst weather in memory. That didn't stop everybody from coming out, but it sure made for some long, chilly,wet days!

On the home front, we adopted a 2 year old German Shepherd dog named Buddy. What a handful, but he has managed to adapt and win our hearts completely. Also, we have taken on a flock of Guinea Hens. Did I say flock? Guineas are more like a gang. Fascinating birds. The side benefit is they eat ticks and just about everything else that crawls or flies.

We made several presentations to Garden Clubs locally, and taught quite a few classes last year. We were very fortunate to be invited to the Virginia Gourd Festival to teach. It was a wonderful time, and the folks there are just the best. If you are interested, check out their site, Virginia Lover's Gourd Society.


We are already scheduling for 2013. If accepted, we will be doing some interesting shows. We will keep you posted as the year goes on and we find out for sure which ones we've been accepted at.

We've added some photos from the past year for you to peek at. More to come!

We'd love to hear from you. Sorry it has been so long since we've posted, and we promise to be more timely in keepong you all in the loop!
