Spring Checks-in a Month Early

Winter seems to have passed us by, and weather conditions have been purely benevolent.  Snow drops are normal for this time, but crocus in full bloom so early with daffodils in tow is quite unusual...

Summer Nostalgia

A look back to this past summer season through the eyes of summertime guest Amy Gray  [SilverPebblePhotography]-- who graciously contributed the following photos:

Favorite Hike -- Buffalo Mountain

Always enjoy this trek.  Intricate textures of the clouds add an fascinating touch.  And recently the access road to the trailhead has been "tamed!!
