Neighbor Anita called to ask if I wanted to go to Maple Hill for some shopping. Maple Hill isn't a mall. It's a farm located between the village and the County Seat. They built a small out-building where they sell produce, things made by local artisans, and other stuff like that. They are having their annual spring open house next weekend so we figured this would be a good time to go before the rush. There were a few other people shopping when we got there but they finished quickly and went off to the barn to see the new lambs before leaving. I picked up an evergreen scented candle (they always have some), rice, cheesecloth, and a dish towel w/ cows on it. (I suggested he give me a discount since it included 2 Jerseys but omitted a Guernsey.) He had eggs at a good price too so Anita picked up three dozen. We then bopped (hopped?) over to the Toad House to see how it was doing under new management. Turns out they are now open more days, longer hours, and the food is still excellent. A nice outing for a late winter day.
