Pleasant Springs Farm
Spring, 2012
Dear Friends,
It’s Spring! We’re open! And happily awaiting guests. ‘Tis a special treat indeed to welcome back you who have been here previously. As I plan your breakfast and arrange your flowers, I see your faces before me and enjoy an imaginary chat.
And how I love meeting new guests. I visualize a person to go with the email or voice on the phone. Sometimes I am waaay off.
This year I’ve worked a bit on the library in the loft. Did you know there are over 600 books to borrow? Please read them. If you don’t finish, take the book home and mail it back when you finish it. Or—even better--bring it the next time you come. Once an obstetrician was visiting. He took a book home and mailed it back with a note: “Can you imagine it? I had never read Cider House Rules.” He and his wife were wonderful people, warm, caring and very smart.
I’m planting my garden with hope it will be beautiful when you come. The island in the pond has two nests, one with 12 goose eggs and one with 4 from a pair of wood ducks. Soon the water will be dotted with little yellow balls of fluff. The shore is already black with thousands of tadpoles.
I am happily planning a wedding, high tea and two luncheons this spring with a pleasant mix of bed and breakfast guests. Please come!
It’s a great year!

Step back in time to a log cabin built in 1768, utterly secluded yet 28
miles from the Nation's Capitol, near Sugarloaf Mountain, the C&O Canal,
several golf courses, horseback riding nearby, parks, MARC commuter train
and good restaurants, including the reknowned VOLT and the Comus Inn.
Pleasant Springs Farm is the only inn in the Agricultural Reserve!
Our eighteenth
century log cabin, lovingly restored, is 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!

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. |
