Spending a weekend at the Reicherts' Sycamore Valley Farm B&B in May was a breath of fresh air--literally and figuratively--for this urban-dwelling St. Louis girl. The peace, the solitude and the lovely pastoral scenery, along with the gentle mooing of the cattle, all contributed to quieting my distracted, anxious soul.  Matt and Tina's B&B accommodations are inviting, comfortable and home-like, as well, and her signature breakfast asparagus quiche is to die for!  And did I forget to mention their overall hospitality and friendliness?  A weekend at this gracious family's B&B is a weekend not to be missed!
