The Veg and Berry Listserve feeds us reports from around the state about a cloudier and cooler March. Blogs from these hills echo the Eye on the Sky boys’ observations about the mid-winter feel of this April week. Thus our Spring starts have needed a bit more time than usual. Andrew has rolled with the […]

Characters From Kids Books
March 13, 2013 – 8:44 am

So many Vermont themes and nature based themes (birds, trees, etc) that we will have consider them for future years — and some fun ones too…We LOVED reading the ideas and found it REALLY tough to make a choice.
