Charles and Cynthia Aquilla – July 9, 2009

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!

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…

The Darby Field Staff

All of us at the Darby want to congratulate our employers and, more importantly, our friends, Marc and Maria Donaldson (on the right end of front and back rows) on 30 years of owning and operating the Inn! They have managed, with grace and humor aplenty, to show everyone how REAL innkeeping is done. Hard to imagine doing anything that long these days. We wish them many more years to come, well, because we LOVE our jobs!

I know Christmas and its decorations have been put away for months now, but our tree has been covered in snow! With the warm weather (could it be spring?!) we’ve been having lately, we may actually be able to put it to rest before summer….I won’t be so bold as to say that, though. I’m afraid Mother Nature might choose to give us some more of the white stuff. With the advent of mud season in our near future, we are taking a break until next weekend. This gives us the opportunity to finish projects started months ago and to come up with some GREAT spring/off season specials to offer to guests for the next month or so…check our website frequently to plan your next visit!

The Jankowskis spent a night with us. They were a good couple with a great sense of humor…we took this shot of them from the patio…that is Moat Moutain in the background, which is a challenging hike for experts.

The Whitmores were a wonderful couple who reserved a room for one night and ended up staying two…they also sampled all of the in-house services we offer: tandem massage, dinner for two, a carriage ride and cold beverages by the pool. Before they left they made reservations to come back during foliage with their son from Chicago. They were a great couple to fall into conversation with…I’m pleased to see them again in a couple of months!

The Lieblichs Enjoyed Hiking…
Originally uploaded by darbyfieldinn.
The Lieblichs, from Maryland came to spend a few days with us, then headed on up to Bethlehem for some more New Hampshire vacation. They stayed in a tradtional room, since they spent most of their days hiking and exploring on the Kancamaugus Highway. Suzanne loved watching the birds and did a great job of familiarizing herself with our native species during her breakfasts here…

Once again, the Darby Field Inn’s flowering crabapple tree has outdone itself…it was loaded with sweet smelling blossoms that had the bees singing its praises. Until the rain came. Even with the gloomy weather this weekend, all our guests were commenting on its plentiful blooms…

 The Early Bloomer: Blood Root
Today I was introduced to a wonderful little flower, the blood root, or Sanguinaria canadensis. This innocent looking flower gets its name from it blood colored rhizome. I discovered it leaves a blood colored sappy mess on your hands if you pull it up from the ground. It propagates easily and early, leaving beds clear for later blooming flowers. Flowers tend to bloom en mass, creating a beautiful display in an otherwise unimpressive area. Our resident garden professional, Faye, gave me a few to take home and plant in my own garden. I hope everyone is getting the weather we’ve been enjoying. It is hard to stay in the office on such beautiful days, so we’ve all been pitching in, getting the yards ready. The Inn is open full time again starting May 1st, while the restaurant will only be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday through the end of May. Great rates are available, so come on up and enjoy the sun!

Yes! We have SNOW! Spike is out and happily ruling the sleigh trail! We thought for a moment there he might just pack up and take off for a colder climate, but the big guy stuck it out and now we have enough snow to run our sleigh! He’s one happy horse!
Speaking of happy things, New Year’s here at the inn was a festive and delicious night. Chef Joe was at his finest and we were fortunate to be joined by so many of our old friends who, despite the lack of snow at the time, came to visit with us anyway. We do want to thank our guests for making New Year’s special for everyone here at the Darby.
If you’re thinking of something romantic to do for Valentine’s Day thing SLEIGH RIDE. Experience tells us that romanance blossoms when a couple is snuggled together on a moonlit sleigh ride! Bring along some roses for your sweetie and your sure to have a Valentine’s Day to remember! If you want we can even arrange to have the rose ready and waiting when you get back. You don’t have to be a guest at the inn to arrange a romantic sleigh ride. You can give us a call to reserve a sleigh and dinner package and we’ll do the rest!
Stay warm and we hope to see you soon!
