Good Morning,
Wow what a month! So many feasts and rituals and new beginnings going on. Ramadan begins today, Passover begins on the 16, and Easter is the 17, or the 24 if you are in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Besides these formal rituals, there is much to do as we prepare the earth and fields for the growing season, and discard the trappings of winter to welcome lighter, brighter days. Enjoy the daily hunt for new blooms and shoots in the yard, & the nightly wonder of "should i rake/plan/move outside" begins. Don't worry: soon we'll have plenty of seedlings for you at just the right time to plant them.
Now is the best time to plan for holiday meals. Check with our vendors for your favorites: order early and get what you want. Our farmers are offering plenty of early spring greens to brighten up your table, despite the chilly weather, and all our vendors are starting to think spring, so plan to fill your bag or basket.
Remember; Day 2 of Hug a Kid at Fuzzy Udder Creamery is: TOMORROW. Check out their web page for info, or call or talk to Stephan today - tickets needed and went fast last week. Starts at 12 and few human kids (of any age) can resist a cluster of (goat) kids jumping, playing, looking for other kids of any species. Experience what their facebook page references as "maximum cuteness" and true joy in life.
Check the calendars at the Maine Street Bath and Times Record web sites for other fun things to do in the area. You'll find listings for lots of rites and joys of spring so you can celebrate the end of winter. Surely we all need something to celebrate!
Joan
