Today I made a journey to Gravel Run Farms near Saegertown, Pennsylvania. I have been purchasing eggs from them for a few months now. I love fresh eggs.  The yolks are bright yellow, and the shells a variety of tan, white, and pale green.   The farm is owned and operated by Jasen and Kelly Diley.  They graciously allowed me a visit to meet the “girls”.

Last night, the rains came.  Not a steady rain, but sporadic bursts… sometimes noisy, enhanced by thunder and lightening, sometimes quietly dropping from the sky.  After a long stretch of dry, sunny weather, the rain is welcome.  I am not thrilled that it will allow the grass to spring back to life, but I am thrilled for the garden.

Last night Hubby and I drove to Slippery Rock, PA to meet friends at North Country Brewing Company for dinner.  The place has a great history in that small town.  It’s a rustic dining establishment/brewery with awesome woodwork, friendly wait staff, and an easy atmosphere. They have a farm-to-table menu with selections for everyone.  The food was good, and the beer cold and enjoyable.
