Good morning, Neighbors, “Are you kidding me?” is what is being said all across every nook and corner and cranny of Lantern Farms this morning when we each woke up to snow outside. Okay, so my wife did say it looks pretty against the peach and cherry blossoms in our yard, then, “Are you kidding […]
Greetings to Friends and Neighbors of Lantern Farms, A sure sign of Spring was our first Tornado Warning at 3 am last night! :-o! Sherry and I were up in a flash; actually she was up in a flash, it took me one flush, then I grabbed our Schnoodle Bailey to save his little life. […]

When the dawn runs warm, enticing me to stay out longer on my early-morning dog walk, this is spring. Where the daffodils bloom, nodding their yellow heads like peaceful, murmuring monks, they are spring. Who will share the spring day with their neighbor, walking past fellow homes doused in sunlight, past those who nod their […]
