Spring at Pleasant Springs Farm |
Pleasant Springs Farm
Spring 2013
Dear Friends,
It's a beautiful spring! The dogwoods are in bloom and there are six baby goslings swimming around in the pond. The sheep are out, wandering about eating azaleas. Fences are down in a few places, but will be repaired soon. It's fun to see them. What president was it who had sheep munching on White House grass?
We are so happy to see guests return. For us, it's being with old friends again. People who came first to celebrate a happy event come back and relive that joyful occation. Their warm and loving feelings encompass us.
A nice rain came along at just the right time, and my perennials loved it. This year I hope my new rose will bloom. Last summer a guest sent me a Climbing Joseph's Coat and I can't wait to see it flower. My dear old friends, Barb and Martha, painted the pickets! Bless 'em.
We look forward to seeing old friends returning and new ones arriving.
As always,
Peg |

Step back in time to a log cabin built in 1768, utterly secluded yet 28
miles from the Nation's Capitol, near Sugarloaf Mountain, the C&O Canal,
several golf courses, horseback riding nearby, parks, MARC commuter train
and good restaurants, including the reknowned VOLT and the Comus Inn.
Pleasant Springs Farm is the only inn in the Agricultural Reserve!
Our eighteenth
century log cabin, lovingly restored, is entirely yours for the night.
Perfect honeymoon cottage or romantic getaway. Also a beautiful site
for family reunions and for nature lovers. Farm products include
wool yarn, soap, shepherd's whimsies, and more!

The
porch with less activity — a peaceful, inviting place to begin
your stay, look at the gardens, and to experience the colors, the
smells, and the butterflies. |
