Spring cleaning in the gardens! and pansy planting! Weekend temps predicted to be in the 50's and we get an extra hour of daylight! Brent would mention that we also lose an hour of sleep.. but I'm a cup sorta full kind of person.
Inside,we'll be refreshing Graham's Retreat with new blinds, fresh paint, and new closet doors. The essence of the room will remain the same with its fireplace, toile bedding and expansive balcony, we'll just be tweaking the color a little. The best part about refreshing the rooms is that we do it with plenty of beer and pizza on hand... this is the only way to get Brent to wield a paint roller.

Savor the Flavor " A Taste of Carlisle"
The 11th annual Savor The Flavor is being held this year on Sunday March 13th from 1130-230 at Dickinson College's Holland Union Building. This is a fabulous way to get a taste of all the unique eateries from the Carlisle area. We've got a long list of culinary delights ( over 25 restaurants in a 10 block area!) If you stay with Fallen Tree Farm this weekend we'll be glad to provide you with a ticket to the event.

Brave Guest and Friend Home from Afghanistan
I have blogged about the Kerr Family who stayed with us for several days for their son, Cameron's, graduation from Dickinson College and his Commissioning into the Army. Many guests leave here as friends. The Kerr Family left here like family.
Recently I mentioned that he was deployed late last year to Afghanistan with his platoon of 22 men. We've just heard that he's come home after a tragic incident which involved an IED and the loss of a portion of Cam's leg. Cam was rushing to the aid of an Afghan soldier with his platoon, also injured by an IED, when he set off another. Members of his platoon came to his aid quickly and efficiently and Cam was transported out via medevac. Now at Walter Reed, he'll have a year of PT ahead of him. Cam's eternal optimism of course comes into play here..While I can only imagine being devastated by these events, Cam will turn this into an opportunity to share and teach others as only he can.
The Kerrs remain in our thoughts and prayers, with Cam's new path at the forefront of our minds.
Glad to have you stateside Cam!
