Down On The Farm
After World War I, a popular song posed the following question about returning servicemen:
"How ya gonna keep'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?"
We were blessed to miss that war by a good bit, but we've seen Paris once or twice, plus the inside of a New York investment bank, and decided more than 30 years ago that life down on the farm would suit us just fine. When catalog paper and postage were cheap, we occasionally presumed on our customers' patience with anecdotes from the daily life at the nursery and a few folks were kind enough to say they enjoyed reading them, as we did writing them.
The miracle of the Internet offers a chance to begin this practice anew, and we still find much that is fresh and delightful in our work and life here. Of course, this electronic newsletter has the great benefit of being free, which cynics will aver offers a fair indication of its value. That decision is yours.
We look forward to chatting with you and will try to be responsive to substantive correspondence. No promises.
Sincerely,
Amos Pettingill
