Springing toward Summer


Hooray!  Spring is here and it hasn't come soon enough after the winter just past.  Dancing daffodils are one my favorite flowers because they are the harbinger of warmer weather, sunny days and I can finally get out of those heavy bulky tops, pants and coats!

But oops....when getting out of them....it shows what winter's inactivity has done to the "rack" on which those heavy tops and bottoms hung!  A few extra pounds...what exactly is meant by "a few"?
Is that two or three or could it mean five to ten?  Whatever, thank heavens for elastic waist bands!

Walking around the Inn the other day, I was noticing that the plantings are in need of upgrading.,  Many of them have been here for 10 years or more and like the inside of the Inn. sprucing up is in order.  So I called Mountain View Nursery aka Harvey Burniston, to come have a look.  Now I have lots of new plants waiting to bloom.

So it's time for a trip to Wintergreen Farm to find flowers to fill the flower boxes all around the Inn and the Lake House.  Last year I did great blue pots with red and white geraniums under the deck at the Lake House and boy did they look good against the pale blue, almost white house.   It takes about 10 pots in each box and I have 14 boxes....I'm going to be busy.
