Dear friends,

Well, not surprisingly, it is raining. And it is expected to rain 12 of the next 13 days. Soon an ark will be floating down County Line. But, of course, the road construction will stop the ark, and it will have to turn around and navigate some treacherous detour back to Fairmount. Sadly, this image represents our current situation for Hill House Farm!

But it is Father's Day, and I have much for which to be thankful, having been the beneficiary of 10 father's in my life. First and foremost, my father Harry Sr., who gave me my start in life, an alliterative name and my better personal qualities ; ), 2 amazing grandfathers from whom I have great memories, 2 wonderful step-fathers (Connie and Jack) who cared deeply for our family, 3 father figures (Mr. McKay, Jack and Big C) who helped raise me after my father's passing, Father Tom, from who I continue to learn life lessons and of course, my amazing father-in-law Rudy, the father of my incredible wife Cyndi and a great role model for how to live life right. And now I have the challenge of passing this accumulated, combined wisdom onto Lauren and Harry III.

So to celebrate Father's Day, take advantage of the rainy weather, adapt to our changing road conditions, pay homage to the ark, sell a lot more eggs (yes the production is at an all-time high) and share one of my favorite quotes from an American legend, please ... 1) complete the following puzzle and receive a free dozen eggs (first 10 entries) or 2) order two or more dozen and I will deliver the eggs to you (this offer stands until the road construction is completed). Best of luck!

Have a wonderful Father's Day!

Harry Jr.
