Pleasant Springs Farm

Spring 2009

Dear Friends,

It's spring at Pleasant Springs Farm! Dogwoods are about to open, delighting us with their fluffy coats of creamy white. Jonquils dot the gardens, birds are singing and the large jelly swarms on the pond tell me that tadpoles will hatch soon. The geese are having their annual territory wars, noisily announcing their intention of sole ownership. Soon they will quietly enjoy their nests. Josephine and her two wooly friends gaze through their pasture fence, looking forward to greeting old friends and new.

The Cherry Blossom Festival has begun and Washington D.C. is adorned with beautiful pink blossoms. A walk around the Tidal Basin is worth the trip from Botswana or Rapid City, Iowa. Nothing can be more lovely than Washington's cherry blossom time and the train from Boyds takes less than one hour of hassle-free enjoyment.

We have been keeping our eyes open for new recipes and have found some real gems. As always we look forward to serving our guests culinary delights served at the time you request. Last year's favorites included quiche with eggs from our own hens served with Ginger/Carrot Muffins, cinnamon-apple sausages from Whole Foods and fresh fruits. Breakfast dessert is seasonal, featuring local fruits.

We are here to welcome you and dedicated to assuring that your stay fulfills your intentions in as joyful and delightful a way possible.

As always,

                     Peg

Eighteenth century log cabin, lovingly restored, entirely yours for the night. Perfect honeymoon cottage or romantic getaway. Also a beautiful site for family reunions and for nature lovers. Farm products include wool yarn, soap, shepherd's whimsies, and more!

Blue Ribbon Award in Historic Resources, American Institute of Architects, November 17, 2000, presented to Richard Chenoweth and Mark Broyles, AIA, for the restoration of our cabin.

The porch with less activity — a peaceful, inviting place to begin your stay, look at the gardens, and to experience the colors, the smells, and the butterflies.


Your hosts, Jim and Peg Coleman.
