February and March are really long months.
Crazy long.
Hadyn had her Disney thing with the Milton Theatre
www.pcade.org
and Holly had Mock Trial Championships with Sussex Central
They both were enthusiastic about their different endeavors and I was so lucky to be able to join them both this year.
Hadyn’s performance is here:

Holly was brilliant {as usual)
and took home the Top Attorney gavel from the Championship round as well as a scholarship. They placed second (which was a little bit of a heartbreaker) but my exquisite elder daughter was as gracious in defeat as she is in victory.
I will be doing an event at Homestead Gardens on March 18th for their Annual Flower Show to announce the launch of Chesapeake Harvest’s new herb and veggie line at Homestead. If you haven’t heard from me in a while that is partly why.
