This year we're excited to be a part of the 14th annual
Piedmont Farm Tour. We doubt we'll get too many visitors because people seem drawn to animals and proximity. It turns out this farm tour is the largest sustainable farm tour in the US. And the shirt logo this year? Carrots? How appropriate we begin this year as they are one of our favorite things to both grow and eat. We'll be weeding weeding weeding, mowing, and weedeating this week to get things looking good. The bad thing about the tour is that it's going to be exhausting.....Sat. and Sun. from 1-6pm. Our sacred rest time. I suppose sacrifices are necessary sometimes. Hopefully more field flowers will be blooming this weekend; things are a bit sparse now due to the cold and wet winter and early spring. Right now there are just a very few batchelor buttons blooming and some poppies.

i hear that robot technology is beginning to appoximate humanness; you could 'hire' a couple of 'robes, dress them up in A&S garb, and send them out to the fields to tour the folks around. hold firm to your rest time!!! tee hee. i was just in VA for a wedding, Charlottesville to be exact, still in the piedmont i think, and BOY, it was absolutely beautiful.
Alice and Stuart,
Count on seeing at least two on the tour, Meg and I are coming to visit. As you guys are fairly close to us and we are visiting the northern section of the tour.
