Wow, this past week zipped by fast. I'm a bit crushed I missed the first day of Blueberry picking at Vacuna Farms. They post on Facebook when they are available. I'll try to put the information in when I can. With my big project finished I think it may be time to tackle the dinning room chair seat cushions. I had them recovered - I think when we were still in New Jersey. Didn't have the foam replaced at that time - big mistake. One of the chair backs is a bit loose, so I think this would be time for a total refresh. What are you working on this Spring?

Adapted by Joseph Robinette Based on the book by E.B. White
The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, created a play that captures this work in a thrilling way. True to the book, this is the story of the classic characters and their relationships: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the “miracle” of her web in which she writes, “Some pig.” It’s the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that promises your family an evening of enchantment.
