Week of May 17, 2010

This weeks special
1 oz. bottle of Sweet Birch Oil with any purcharse
Once all the rain stopped, and the frost decided to let go, we have had beautiful spring weather, not to hot, just perfect for planting outside. The plant babies love the wet soil and cool days to adjust to their new homes. I love that we are planting dandelion and burdock in rows, all our neighbors are trying their best to get rid of their Dandelion and burdock and we can't grow enough of them!!!
Can't remember a year when we have had so many birds, and so many differnt kinds!!We have Doves, Robins, Blue Birds, Blue Jays, Cardinials, Red Winged Black Bird, Finches, Junco, Crakles, Kildeer, and of course the Blue Herons are back fishing in the creek and a few I am sure I have forgotten. We have the same Robin back for the 3rd year, we can tell because he knocks on our window early in the morning and in the evening. I am sure he is trying to tell us something we just can't quite get the message. Other than I think someone is knocking at our door and I go and open the door and no one is there. Happy Spring Andrea and Matthias
Sweet Birch also know as Black Birch comes from our woods, when I peel the bark the sweetness of the aroma takes me back to when I was a child playing in the woods with my brothers and sisters. I am sure we where playing cowboys and indians, or building forts to keep the British out. After my brother made a school trip to Fort Tiriconderoga, we where always keeping the British out!!!
