Still springing.

The trees are still abloom here in Vermont, and they made a beautiful backdrop for a lovely Mother’s Day weekend at the Blue Horse Inn. Enjoy!

Blooming

After a rather middling Winter, Spring has arrived with refreshing gusto.  Naturally, things are busily blooming in Pierre’s gardens.

In our gardens, peony, sedum, and astilbe are well on their way, and the tulips are juuuust shy of blooming.  We’ll keep you posted.

Many folks are already thinking about beaches and golfing.

And that’s fine, if you’re into things like suntans and drinks with rum.

But we’re not quite ready for those things up here in Vermont.

We’ll stick with whisky and windburn for a while yet.

For as long as the snow holds.

It’s not a time machine…

But it’s pretty awesome.

A wood-fired, cedar Snorkel hot tub is, in fact, the perfect way to pass a wintry afternoon.

Gentlemen, soak on.

Horses, Horses, Horses

Another year, another lovely Wassail Weekend.  My favorite part is always the horse parade – particularly festive when enjoyed from a neighbor’s porch with a very spicy bloody mary.

The horses and riders are decked out in grand style.

Look, unicorns!

And snowmen!

And the big man himself.

Wassail Weekend  - a great way to celebrate the holidays in Woodstock, Vermont.

And we’re back!

Well hello there, everyone (and congratulations to Sarah in particular)!  Apologies for the long hiatus, but we’ve been busy with trips to Georgia, neck spasms, Wassail Weekends, cedar soaking tubs, parties, salted white chocolate cookies – a veritable slew of exciting and festive things. But we’ve missed you, and we’ll be back tomorrow with a proper rundown of our season.  Until then, here’s a peek at the ceiling in Bentley’s, where the holidays make good times even better.
