Letter From Home | June 18, 2019

Good Morning,

We are having another rainy day. It is warmer which at least makes it a little more pleasant. I feel sorry for the folks that live in the low areas and need to deal with flooding. Hopefully things will be ok again after awhile.

Springtime is still a favorite time of year for a lot of folks. Seeing the wildflowers in the roadside ditches is getting to be quite interesting. There are so many different varieties. Too many to remember without writing them down as we see them. It is also interesting to see all the birds that visit my feeders. There is quite a variety and it seems like they must be feeding their babies.

Strawberries are in season, or just getting past their peak and taste so good! Yesterday we served fresh strawberry pie for dessert with our church meal. It was done for a treat for Father’s day. It was enjoyed by all!

Here are a few comments from customers that like our products. A lady from Florida ordered 10 containers of Ashery’s Own Hamburger Seasoning and said she likes it so well that she didn’t want to be without it. She likes it on any kind of meat. Another lady said that the Miller’s Natural Lovely Lavendar soap is her favorite. I like to use the Vanilla/Almond Goats Milk Soap as a shampoo. Today a customer came in with the label of a bag he had gotten earlier of Ashery’s Own Maple Pecan Granola and asked where it was because he wanted more!
