Pleasant Springs Farm

Autumn, 2009

Dear Friends,

Cooler weather and the promise of brilliant fall colors is bringing repeating guests back to Pleasant Springs. We love it. New friends are always welcome, but when you return, it's like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

This season has seen truly interesting, lovely people walk in the old cabin door. One man was a developer of Peters Fertilizer and Miracle Gro! What a great time we had talking gardens. His beautiful wife was an organic gardener and both of them were so knowledgeable. It was a treat having them.

All my guests this year have been grand and I hated to see them leave.

The gardens are still doing well, producing tomatoes, beets and herbs. My garden tea is delicious and I am making sure to leave a cool bottle in the cabin refrigerator for guests. To make it, I pick mint, stevia, monarda, anise hissop and anything else that looks good, cover with water, bring to a boil and strain through cheesecloth. Stevia sweetens just the right amount.

Josephine is coated in lovely soft wool for the winter and has become more friendly. My 1-year-old granddaughter, Drew Edith, likes to feed her and Josephine approves this activity with loud calls of baaaah baaaah.

Come see us! The last two weekends in October are still available and several week nights. November is wide open.

Cheers,
                     Peg

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.
