NELLIE CROCKETT
Tulips forced by Chesapeake Gold Farms
What better way to spend Valentine's Day than kayaking with my sweetheart? We explored the Sassafras River above the Route 213 bridge at Fredericktown/Georgetown. Highlights included seeing the buy boat NELLIE CROCKETT up close, sharing a floating lunch in a wetland off Duffy Creek, and spying a small nesting colony of great blue herons. Deep Blue at Kitty Knight wowed us with their dinner presentation. Earlier in the day, Dobbs drove me to Chesapeake Gold Farms for a bouquet of LOCAL flowers - that's right! - local flowers in February. Owner Amanda forced tulips so they'd be at peak for this special day.
