today marks our 1-year anniversary of taking on the property
a few things noticed this week:
-the first cricket chirps of the season (just today)
-the tree frogs started their calls this week also, on Sunday night for hte first time, they haven't missed a night since...i think they keep talking for another 6 weeks, through at least the end of June
-several German Bearded iris varieties are in bloom: burgundy, pale blue, cream, yellow, and the most common blue...thanks to my sister and brother in law who salvaged them last Summer...the rocky hillside now is cloaked in beautiful color and with gorgeous fragrance
-the Siberian irises along the driveway are blooming
-the tomatoes and peppers are planted
-continuing to label all the plants we installed this year, and several species throughout our wooded areas
-we had the heaviest rain we have seen for a couple years that washed out part of the local township road...our driveway held strong. the Japanese sedges, siberian irises, and ribbon grass held everything in place and slowed the water down bautifully so it wouldn't gorge out beside the driveway

Mohican Valley Arts and Entertainment
www.movallart.org
THE ARTS COME TO MOHICAN COUNTRY
Coming this SUMMER! The week of July 13-18, 2009! The Arts join the natural surroundings of the beautiful Mohican Valley. A new experience for a region rich in history, rich in scenic views, rich in family oriented fun! Besides canoe-trips, horseback riding, swimming, and the usual rest and recreations of the area, the Mohican Wilderness Campgrounds and the Mohican River Inn will host a series of events that with entertain, educate, energize and exhilarate the whole family, group or organization.
The Mohican Arts in Nature Festival (M.A.I.N.- Fest) will present an array of different artistic programming the entire week. All events are family friendly and full of fun. Pick one event or more, one day or spend up to the whole week learning, laughing, and even getting scared silly with affordable prices for one or all events.
The events include an Underground Railroad Experience, Living History Chautauqua’s with Johnny Appleseed, Tecumseh, Daniel Boone and John Brown, Ghost Stories, Tales from the Valley, Old Time Radio, Improv Comedy, a Contra Dance [precursor of square dancing and Civil War Ballroom Dancing – don’t worry the caller walks you through every move] and the Mohican Valley Finale, think of it as something Garrison Keillor might enjoy. Sit back and be entertained, or actively participate in as many activities as you like and don’t be afraid to expand your horizons
You know about the Indian Pow-Wow’s, the Bluegrass Festival, the 100 mile iron man run and related activities that are already established events that occur annually in the area, now the Mohican Valley Arts & Entertainment organization brings the Arts to join as a partner in these vacation destinations, with something for everyone to enjoy.
After a day swimming, horseback riding, canoeing, sightseeing, shopping, dining, and just having a fun vacation, top off the evening with the arts. And for you who aren’t vacationing, it’s still the perfect way to spend a summer evening in natural surroundings, breathing sweet natural air and getting away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
For ticket information and more details how you can join in the fun, visit www.MOVALLART.org or www.VisitKnoxOhio.org or call 1-800-837-5282 or (740) 392-6102.

observations
here are some random, and possibly boring, observations from the inn
-the bluets are in late bloom and pair nicely with the mosses that blanket several areas around the restaurant and inn
-the white snakeroot is growing everywhere in teh open spaces around the inn; learned this week that if cows eat this plant their milk can be toxic to humans
-the juvenile beech trees have finally lost last season's leaves and all are budding out
-the deer have found the newly planted blackeyed-susans in the meadow next to the beardtongue
-a neighborhood cat ran off with a chipmunk this morning around 10am
-the jack-in-the-pulpits are blooming everywhere...and fortunately the new plants have all grown up nicely
-Jack and Lucie visited last weekend and learned about garlic mustard, and never to eat anything from the wild unless they were with Uncle Andy
-watched a turkey fly down the hill into the meadow
-ran into a nieghbor today looking for mushrooms in the woods (I was running the trail toward October Hill)
