Yesterday I accepted our 13th straight AAA Four Diamond Award. I'm proud.

Oh. I'm so happy. Thank you to my second follower. I was feeling a little down because I didn't know how people would find me and someone else did. I can't wait to see who it is.

The last two days have started out gloomy and turned into pure sunshine. The gardens are loving the light and the gradual warmth. It will certainly be summer soon.

Happy June.

Happy last day of May. The weather is lovely... cool and sunny.

Think I'll go to the Ontario Mall Antiques in Canadandiagua to pick up a few brochures... and shop for more fruit juice glasses. The Mall has 1,000 dealers. It's so fun to browse through the Mall. I'll let you know what else I come back with.

Have a great Sunday!

The sun is out. A gorgeous day. The clematis by the Barn Suite just took off. There must be 30 blooms. I'll add a photo tomorrow. I think that's the most I've ever seen on that plant. And, the ferns in the semi-private Barn Suite gardens are at least five feet tall. I didn't plant them there.

Three out of the four men guests this weekend are all Mikes. That's never happened before.

Tried a new recipe today and I think we have a winner. It's a savory, stuffed French Toast. I stuffed the French Toast with sauteed sweet peppers, Vidalia onion and baby bella mushrooms and feta. Then soakd the Challa bread in egg with fresh thyme. I used a little Hollandaise sauce instead of syrup. I had some friends over and we all enjoyed a new dish. I think I might try stuffing a few slices of Canadian Bacon in there as well. Can't wait to serve it to guests.

Still only one follower. Wonder how long it takes to get followers? No worries. I'll keep writing.

We are having a little rainy weather. After 10 days of sunshine, we need it. I never have to water the amazing gardens at the Inn so I'm happy for the rain. Everything seems so clean. And, I love the thunder storms. At first, they intimidated me a little, but now, it's amazing to watch the sky light up. I suppose it's earth's shower. It just needs one now and then.

Have one room for Friday and one room, the Barn Suite for Friday and Saturday this weekend. Join us.

Hope your Memorial Day was great. Did you know that the birthplace of Memorial Day is Waterloo, New York (just about 30 minutes from the 1795 Acorn Inn)?

A quick observation: I recently quoted a price for a stay. When I confirmed the reservation, I confirmed it at a price slightly higher than quoted. The guest emailed me to bring it to my attention. Of course I honored the lower, wrong price. However, it's interesting to me that when I underscharge someone, it is never brought to my attention. I can't say that I would bring that to someone's attention if I were undercharged... all the time. But I have in the past.

Today the exterminator is coming to spray for bees and wasps and spiders...

Have a great day!
