Dear Farm Family,

I always think of the song, September Morn, by Neil Diamond this month!

Stay for just a while
Stay, and let me look at you. . .

School has started back, we are busy working in our gardens for a nice Fall harvest after the Summer heat. New Beginnings, lots of Butterflies: Blacks & yellow as well as orange. Monarchs making themselves Happy Home, and Dining themselves in the garden. Butterflies symbolize new beginnings, and transformation . . . fireflies and dragonflies too.

In our kitchen, here at the Herb Farm we have lots going on . . . Some new and exciting dishes and some new faces. See the photos with this letter. This month we have cooler evenings and mornings to start looking forward to and Fall planting.

We hope to see lots of you trekking to Fredericksburg this month and if you cannot make it with the high gas prices we hope you'll take advantage of ordering online.

Our Herb of the Month for September is Dandelion more than a weed or a wish! Be sure to read all about it!

Remember to dance until the night becomes a brand new day and then September mornings still can make you feel this way!

Join us in the garden restaurant on a "cool" September Saturday night and enjoy the folk sounds of Vessel in the garden.

We will have a special returning musical guest in the dining room on September 16th - Kevin McCormick, classical guitarist.

Blessings,
Bill Varney & All the Herb Farm Folks

P.S. Please remember all the victims of Hurricane Katrina in your prayers.
