My Mother is here for Mother’s Day and we have already begun the trip around Carlisle to celebrate.  We started out in downtown Carlisle.  We stopped at the Bosler Library to get the latest books on tape.  Afterwards, we drove over to the new bakery that opened on Hanover Street. 

The Carlisle Bakery is located on Hanover Street near the intersection of Pomfret Street.  We selected a few tasty looking cinnamon buns and cherry/cheese bow ties.

We wanted to stop at the Farmer’s Market on the Square, which just opened for the season, but we were too early.  The hours were from 3-7 pm.   The Market will be open every Wednesday through December 19th, so we will visit the market at another time.

Instead, we stopped  at the newly opened Spring Garden Greenhouse for some annuals before heading home.

Today we made a trip to Aschcombe’s for the tomato, eggplant and pepper plants.  In this area of the country, this is the time to begin planting assuming the last frost has occurred  Tomorrow we will be heading over to the Garden Gate Farm Stand.  This is the newly opened stand on Trindle Road that is operated by our neighbors. 

There are so many wonderful nurseries and garden centers in the area, so if you are visiting your Mother, you will have not trouble finding a beautiful hanging basket.

My mother likes to be on the go, so I am sure we will shop at Kohl’s (after all we have a 30% coupon) or the Village Artisans Gallery for a Mother’s Day gift.  If the weather is sunny, we might ride out to Meadowbrooke Gourds or the new winery in Duncannon.

There are a lot of events happening around the Valley this weekend, so we are looking forward to getting out and about.

We will be having guests for the weekend at the Red Cardinal B&B, so we decided to eat out on Friday night at Fiddler’s at Mayapple.   

Many of the local restaurants are offering Mother's Day specials, but we have decided to have a cookout and enjoy the warm weather that is being forecasted.

If you are in the area for Mother’s Day and need a place to stay while visiting, give us a call at the Red Cardinal B&B - 717-245-0823.  We will be happy to accommodate you. 

We can help plan a day out with your mom.  Happy Mother's Day.
