Sweet Treats on Cold Days
There’s nothing quite as nice on cold winter days as time spent with the ones you love. Bundling all the kids in hats, scarves, gloves and the warmest of coats; you may all go out in the snow to run and play. Imagine the snowflakes melting on tiny tongues and the packing of snowballs for a game of snowball tag. Will you build a snow fort or try your hand at a snow igloo?

November in Kentucky

To The Garden
April is National Garden Month! While the days are lovely and not yet hot, how pleasant to spend some time each morning in your very own “Outdoor Room”—the garden.

A Park Tea
As iris leaves peek out from the soil, and the knock-out rose bushes begin to sprout leaves of green with a tinge of red, we can tell that spring is on the way. These are the perfect days to pack a basket of favorite fruits and veggies along with a thermos of delicious “Spice Tea”! Bring along a lovely tablecloth, and invite your dearest of friends. Winter days are gone, and spring carries the promise of time well-spent, lovely conversation, and meaningful moments with the sp
