It's Spring! Let the Shows Begin


Honestly, I should probably call this blog This Month at the Parsonage, or even This Year given how often I post. Sorry about that--we have been making soap like crazy, around 1200 bars a week. Dick's taking off for a few months this summer and I'm trying to get a bit ahead of the game. Don't want to have to make a batch without the Master Soapmaker, now do I?
The weather has finally turned here in Virginia and I think spring is here to stay. The bluebells are blooming along the Potomac, the peepers have been frozen out their third time, and the lilacs are starting to bud. Oliver loves to camp out under the lilac bushes and watch the road. You just never know when a bicycle might go by!
This weekend we will be at our first show of the year, the Leesburg VA Flower and Garden Show. It runs Saturday and Sunday (April 18 and 19). If you're in the area, please stop by and say hello. There should be plenty of gorgeous plants to look at, as well as crafts, landscape displays, and much more. Keep your fingers crossed for sun!
