Signs of Spring at Concord Hill....





















Spring is Here!

Hello everyone!
Spring is here at Concord Hill, Pear trees and Red Buds are in bloom and bulbs are popping up all over. Flashes of color are brightening up the landscape after a gray winter. We did have a freak snow a few days ago though, at the end of March! Crazy....

A little news on what we've been up to lately...March 13 was George's birthday (That's right Friday the Thirteenth, and it suits him so well). We had a fun get-together with lots of food and music, jammin' all day and into the night. George made his slow cooked Pulled Pork and we had a big salad, baked beans and great side dishes brought by friends. Very yummy and not many left-overs! Many friends spent the night and George made a huge breakfast in the morning. We had a full table of about 15 for breakfast!

Other news; George's son Patrick is on the UMSL (University of Missouri St. Louis) Hockey team and they are going to the National Championships in Philadelphia this week. Patrick has been playing hockey since he was 5 when George coached the Pee Wee team and now George is coaching his Mens League. Patrick's nicknames are Chopper and Patrick the Hat Trick. Bring home a win Patrick!

We are looking forward to the arrival of our new hot tub in about a week (the old one pooped out after a long and happy run) so bring your suits and get ready for some relaxing!

On a sad note, we lost our beloved Amber this month, George's 13 year old Husky mix. He raised her from a pup and she happily spent her last days enjoying the country air and greeting our guests with her loud bark and a wagging tail. Amber will be sorely missed at the BnB.

As for me, I'm trying my hand at gardening...it's something I've always wanted to do and now I have the chance, but I am such a novice! Come on out and see my progress, I gladly accept all tips and advice!

That's all the news for now.
Happy Trails to You, Maggie
Come On Out and Stay A While...
