Signs of Spring!

I have a confession to make -- I have a real love/hate relationship with the month of March!  I wonder how we can go from Monday's snow storm - see below -  to Wednesday's nice, sunny day filled with lots of crocuses and early tulips!   March can be a real winter wonderland one day and seem like early summer season just a day or two later. 

The thing I love about March is the sense of expectancy.  When I take a hike on the Appalachian Trail and look at all the trees and shrubs, I can tell that nature is just ready to burst out and say "Hello again world"!

What I hate about March is the mud!  I can brush my horse, Malcolm, and as soon as he goes outside again, he rolls in the messiest, muddiest area of the pasture that he can find!  When I turn out the horses in the AM, there is mud all around the water hydrants.  If I'm not careful, the mud can actually suck the shoes off my feet.  What a mess in the month of March!

Work begins again March 27, 2013

Here is another sure sign of spring - the workers have re-started the siding on the remainder of our barn! For the past two months I have been reporting that work would begin soon... Now it's official!  No more painting the barn siding!  The barn will look great for the wedding season here at Pheasant Field B&B! 

March is also the end of voting for Harrisburg Magazine's "Simply The Best B&B" and other shops and services.  Go vote now - while you are sitting at your computer!  Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Spring is a wonderful time to plan a visit to Carlisle PA - for fishing, hiking, studying history, or shopping for fine crafts -  come stay with us and relax and rejuvenate!

Now, move along March so we can celebrate a real SPRING!
