Decorating for Christmas

Thank you to Ruth and Sherry for all their hard work here at the B&B. The place sparkles because of them. Thank you to Rachel and Ruth for the home made wreathes. As always they are lovely. We did not get the decorating done by December 1st this year. We were not on any tours, and I was determined to do some of it myself. Last year I got to do some of the tree. This year, Darin and I did the tree, the foyer and stair railing and I did the little decorations in each guest room. The cottages, Darin did the lights on the trees and I decorated them. It was fun and relaxing. Next year maybe we will have a decorating party.

Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Happy New Year!

May all be merry and bright! From Speedwell Forge B&B and the Wolf Sanctuary of PA -- may all your wishes come true through out the year. Stay healthy, stay warm and and travel safely.

ttfn, Dawn

Winter

It's just beautiful out side. The ice is just coating the trees, a light sprinkling of snow coats the grounds, and a definite chill is in the air. Did I say chill, its down right cold! What better time for Christmas to be here. Perfect for baking cookies, and cakes. Putting together fireside picnic baskets and warm winter packages. Winter is truly here! :-)

What will the new year bring? We are going even more green. Switching to 7th Generation products for laundry and dishes. We will be putting our back porch back on, and completing the privy and maybe even the chicken coup! Keep an eye on us -- pictures should be popping up soon! Oh and we will definitely be getting an outside gas and firewood boiler!

Well gotta run, I have gift certificates to mail, and deposits to process. And ya, I have basket to finish for some very much in love guests coming home for the evening.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
