So glad to welcome spring and a few days without rain!  We are fifth generation tobacco farmers who farmed with our grandparents for many years. We're now growing muscadines, pears, and apples on our family's farm. This time of year finds us in the vineyards pruning our muscadine vines to ensure they are easy to pick when you come to the farm later this year.

We attended a Happy Hand Lettering class this week just for fun. Although 'snail mail' seems to come in last to all other forms of communication, there is so much beauty in just writing a thank you note or an inspirational word to someone near and dear to you. Maghon Taylor of All She Wrote Notes spreads cheer and fun with her classes. If you haven't taken a class or shopped with her, check out her small business at allshewrotenotes.com.
