If you do something two years in a row, does that make it an annual event? This was the second year the Union County Master Gardeners have come for a field trip, and once again, I am sure I must be related to some of these folks.

We had a great time with the farm animals, a lovely lunch, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed showing them how to needle felt (even though some of them immediately put me to shame!!!)

Promised the ladies my top secret (not) White Chili recipe. And GHam - thanks for my garden of gluten free cupcakes!!!!
