Independence Day greetings

Here at Cottage on the Knoll at Cedarcroft Farm we're taking it easy on a rainy 4th. We spent yesterday at Clinton's Olde Glory Days with its almost-two-hour parade. We'd planned to look for artifacts in the creeks, but it's a little to wet right now - perhaps later. I also like to take some time to re-read the Declaration of Independence and reflect on the words; you might take a look at the offenses attributed to King George & his ministers and compare them with the state of our nation today.

The wildflowers are blooming profusely - the meadow is a sea of white from Queen Anne's lace. Our coneflowers continue to spread and all are in bloom, along with assorted daisies & black-eved susans. The native grasses are shooting up all along the lane to the Cottage. It's worth a visit.
