See how our garden grows…

I guess this is the payoff for all the rainy weather we suffered through! This has been a great week outside and inside the inn… we’ve had some wonderful guests with interesting stories. One couple was here celebrating their anniversary before they headed to Russia to teach for a couple of years. Another couple from Connecticut spent some honeymoon time here in the valley, relaxing and seeing the sights. Yet another couple spent the night here before heading down to babysit for their new grandson. Sharing lives and experiences is the biggest joy of working at a small inn! I can understand why Marc and Maria have enjoyed it for so many years…

sunshine around the well…

I am pleased to say the sun has stuck with us for a few days, even though we have had some light showers. All Faye’s flowers are reviving from “slug world” and have filled in and bloomed nicely. We were particularly worried about those around the well, but as you can see, they survived our month of rain fairly “well” (pun intended)!

Chuck and Cyndi were married atop Mt. Washington this past Thursday. They spent 3 nights here at the Inn with us, exploring the area and taking a break from the “real” world. I will miss their smiling faces at breakfast and hope to see them again, soon! Oh, and thanks for the good weather, Chuck. We hope it holds for awhile!

Ed and Lynn waited 16 years for this day…we are pleased they chose to share it with us! They are off playing golf today. Hope they have as much good fortune on the course as they do in life! It is obvious they already have the patience…

What is this ball of fire in the sky?

Oh, that’s right, it’s the SUN! I’s been so long I had forgotten what it looked like. Guess I’d better spend some time out in it today before it disappears again…hope ya’ll get to, too! Actually, this weekend looks like a summer winner, comparatively, so keep your fingers crossed that we have a chance to dry out…
