"Wear it Pink" is an annual event that invites people to wear pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness and research.  Ferris Hills marked the day with a Ladies' Tea.

After several residents came to me today asking about a particular menu item, I felt compelled to check it out.  Coconut Zoodle Soup sounds nice, right?  Dan Cobb was very busy preparing for the evening meal, but took the time to let me have a taste.  Refreshing coconut, chicken broth, lemon, cilantro, zucchini noodles, and a hint of curry paste are some of the flavors all working together making a delicious soup that is so appropriate for this breezy summer day!  I could go on and on about the amazing talent in the Ferris Hills/Clark Meadows kitchen, but today it's all about Dan Cobb and his Coconut Zoodle Soup!

Jockey Claire was also Bartender Claire for this fun event!  Mint Juleps, wine, sodas, and beer were served with pulled pork sandwiches and deviled eggs.  As tradition would have it, we all sang "My Old Kentucky Home," and as I began to describe the events of our own version of this time honored horse race, a last minute entry was announced and in trotted Claire mounted on her trusty steed.  The crowd went wild and the party began with laughter and fun!

Smell the Flowers...

People move to Ferris Hills for a number of reasons but a zero maintenance lifestyle if probably top of everyone's list.  When you have to clear leaves in the fall, remove snow in the winter and mow in the spring and summer the general upkeep of a property becomes a full time job.  Being able to spend your days doing what you want to do is a huge perk.  Playing golf or spending the day on the lake beats having to weed and water a yard....well, you would think, but the truth is some people miss having those chores and like to keep busy. 

We have a number of residents who love to be out watering the grounds, they enjoy planting a garden and tending to flowers and keep the community beautiful.  From the hanging baskets on balconies to the raised beds and garden boxes, all are well kept and flourish.  The bird sanctuary was newly planted, by residents, last year and will take time to establish but the array of wildlife it already attracts is remarkable and is such a pleasure to sit by.  Woodpeckers, chickadees, mockingbirds and swallows are just a few of the many birds our residents have spotted.  There is no shortage of wildlife within our 54 acres.  A perfect setting for any lover of the outdoors.
