Yes, Spring is here, usually 60-70F daytime temps, 45-55 at night.  There are cabins on this site, if we go for this, and lots of nice tenting room.  Everything will be starting to bud out, redbud trees are usually exploding aboutt hen, and all-around, it's pretty pleasant.  Rain is a probability, at least for part of the event, but the ~6-foot wide fireplace in the main lodge building usually can manage to take the chill off.  We'll have the use of the commercial banquet kitchen, so I'll have a big pot of soup or two simmering for lunch, and probably be baking some bread.  (Herb bread with honey butter?)

We can even do a feast, if you'd like.  How about some really good recipes for a feast in celebration of the spring herbs?  Research, anyone?
