“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-PoohA long, long time ago, it feels that way at least, I dug some holes in our yard and planted several tulip bulbs around our front walkway. Tulips need to be exposed to the cold  and have to overwinter in the ground, preferably planted in the fall.“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to DieWell, then you have to wait, and wait, through the end of the fall, through winter, through the snow, the rain, cold winds. It doesn't help to stand over the spot and will them to grow. And you know that saying a watched kettle never boils, well they do but it f...

Casa Carmen,  on Old Baltimore Pike in Jennersville, West Grove PA, the winery and vineyard that is right behind our home in Big Elk community has at last begun their soft opening. Every Friday and Saturday from 4.00 to 8.00 pm they will be open. The winery had worked with Ryan Homes and offered all homeowners in Big Elk a complimentary glass of wine, distributing some tasting glasses at an event in the fall. Bring the glass along and your first glass of wine is free.We have been busy the last few weeks, but last night we visited the tasting room, built in the style of Spanish and South American tasting rooms to see how things were going. I have already purchased some of their vermouth which they also offer and used them in some cocktails at home. But chatting with one of the sons last ...

It’s March, and there is finally a light at the end of the long winter tunnel. Although the warm weather isn’t in full swing just yet, we are seeing glimpses of the changing seasons, most notably heard through the robins’ songs each morning. As we await the warmth and light of spring and summer across the Pocono Mountains, we can get glimpses of the season by attending some local events across the region.    Farmers markets are often signatures of summer when fresh local produce is at its most abundant. However, in Stroudsburg, PA, you can find the Monroe Farmers Market offering a brightness to its neighbors year round. Not only does the market provide traditional farmers market offerings, but it is also a hub for local vendors and events. Find local produce, honey, soaps, baked goods, ...

This morning when I pulled the curtains aside to see what was happening out near the bird feeders, there was a rather large white critter on the back fence. At first I thought is was a huddle of squirrels, but then realized it was a rather large possum! I have not seen them all winter. They are back in the area it seems.Other signs of the seasons changing…daffodils are just starting to open, hyacinths have just pushed through the soil, and today I saw the first forsythia flower. Crocuses and snow drops have been seen in many front lawns as I walk the neighborhood. And a few cherry blossoms are starting to open as well.Yesterday I saw a large rabbit in the neighbor’s yard. Now today seeing the possum, is a true sign of warmer weather to come.In regards to the possum being on top of the f...

         About 12 years ago , my Daughter turned me ontosushi. And about 10 years ago Ginza Sushi opened inGreenfield . I like their Miso Soup and Vegetable Tempura and their Lunch Bento Boxes.        Pictured above is one of my favorite Takeout Rolls.2 Spicy Tuna , a Cali Roll, Philly Roll, a Spicy Salmon andof course 1-2 Spicy Mayo .  Ginza also does “All you can eat sushi “ when dining in . So if you are craving some really good Sushi, I’m recommending GINZA, 565 Greenfield Rd., Lancaster, PA ..  Arigatou

.  Much of my family hails  from Southern Chester Co.I also grew up in the Philly suburbs and went tonumerous Deli’s and enjoyed Hoagies & Cheesesteaks.But recently I rediscovered a hidden gem in a smalltown called West Grove . Brothers Pizzeria offers personalized meals that exceed it’s interesting menu.Pictured above is a Pizza Steak Sandwich. I have had one of these at as many as 30 restaurants. But after enjoying the above sandwich, I can assure you thatBrothers makes the best ! Two friends of mine Tim & Che are regular diners at Brothers and are thrilled with some of the Chef’s creations that have been cooked from scratch. Brothers is a BYO .Stop by soon .

Michael J. Perry sent me a message last week with a link to The Landenberg Store. As my wife had the day off on Friday we decided to go visit as it is only about twenty minutes away and the link looked interesting.Well this store is in Landenberg, obviously, right on the creek, and it was busy, we parked behind the store as the front was full, and when we went inside it was pretty busy. What had attracted us was the bread, which looked home baked, but, unfortunately is not, but still pretty good.It seemed to be a place where people stopped on their way home to pick up a sandwich or something else they had. As I mentioned the bread, we purchased some, a small baguette, nice and crusty and very good flavor; and a cranberry walnut loaf, which is very nice toasted with some honey on it with...

Well, early March gave us a beautiful spring like even a summer day feeling with warm temperatures that encouraged us to get out with our dog and then see where we ended up. Our initial plan after our walk at Nottingham Country Park was to drive to Maryland and pick up some Shrimp, but when we got there the place was closed. So, on our way home we saw that Wayvine Winery, which we have not visited yet had some live music. On arriving we saw it was pretty crowded with plenty of people sitting outside enjoying the weather. I sat with Jackie our dog whilst Annie went to investigate. Returning with a Dry Riesling and a Barbera Red, with a portion of Parmesan Arancini. Both the wines were good however, the arancini were a little oily.I went to walk around and took the photo above of the oak ...

We have been shopping for a mattress in the big stores, and now we are looking online at Amazon and all the other Internet sites. Some Big Box stores even promise to remove your old mattress. The warranties are exceptional; some even let you try them for almost a year. Many of these Bed in a Box require you to install the mattress onto the bed. I may have gone for it if I was younger, but at my age, sorry, it's not happening. I will say many of these Beds in a Box brands I saw in the big stores. I did have the opportunity to see them and try them out, which I was thankful for. Some of the brands were Purple and Nectar. Now, they might install the mattress for you. I did not ask. I was surprised to see how many Bed in a Box brands were available but were not shown as a Bed in a Box. They...

Well, after lots of interest and multiple showings we received an offer and the promise of a second offer. My sellers did not want to be rushed as we had open houses planned for the weekend. However, when an offer meets most of the parameters that a seller wants, then the natural thing to do is to counter that offer.Having done that, seller and buyer this morning reached terms acceptable to both, and both signed the agreement of sale.Showings were cancelled along with the Open Houses over the weekend.My seller is very happy, relieved to know that they are now able to settle on the home they are buying without having to arrange bridge loans or any other alternative financing. The buyers are excited to own a home on the Main Line that is so gorgeous, modern and filled with natural light a...

The Pocono Mountain region is home to several unique and gorgeous vineyards. Whether you're a local or vacationing in the Poconos, our vineyards are a great destination. As parts of the various Pocono communities, many vineyards include events outside of simple wine-tasting, and instead consider other ways to engage their neighbors and provide exceptional services and experiences. One such vineyard that is always host to countless events is Blue Ridge Estate Vineyard and Winery in Saylorsburg, PA. On Saturdays, Blue Ridge offers their signature Underground Experience. As a visitor, you enter the Underground Room, located 14 feet below ground, through an elegant chandelier staircase. The room is themed in jet black and gold, and you are able to spot roots growing into the room; here, ele...

I have just listed this beautiful Main Line home in Tredyffrin Easttown school district at 726 Mancill Road, Wayne, PA 19087.Check out the Video TourMy clients bought this  home four years ago, we had the challenge of selling their home during the COVID interruption. With their help hosting Facebook Live events we got the word out and got their home sold in time for them to move into this home at the time. It was new construction in an established neighborhood. The only reason they are moving now is because their son was accepted at a prestigious sports school.Peaceful and quiet they have come to love the yard which was professionally landscaped and is flat and large enough for soccer or archery. The driveway doubles as a pickleball and basketball court and has enough space for four car...

I went shopping for a mattress as I promised  Mike McCann Nebraska Land Broker  . I chose it as my furniture dealer as I knew they would have almost all the internet and High models in stock and on the showroom floor. Plus, they were the company I would most likely buy from, as I like their company service and policy.Philadelphia Steals and Deals Mattress Shopping Part oneI asked for a salesman I had purchased furniture from before, but my mind went blank. I need help remembering his name. A nice young salesman looked him up for me, and he was there. He was finishing up with a lovely young couple, so I started looking around. There were rooms and rooms full of mattresses. There was another lady, and we looked at each other and said oh my goodness, how do you decide? My salesman came and...
