Saturday, May 26, 2007 - New stuff

Posted in Life at the Inn

Well, the Inn is coming along. New carpet was installed in the breakfast area, the hallways, and 2 bedrooms. A area rug was laid in the MacKay Room. Just lovely. But this was just the start. Five pines were taken down by the little house for a start. A huge butternut that had died years ago was cut and lifted by crane over fire escape steps and electrical wires. Four trees were removed along the driveway and 2 more pines were cut down that were right next to the house. The patio deck had been built around the pine when it was small and now years later the pine is pushing up the deck, so it had to go. Clearing has been going on for days to open up the yard and remove debris that had collected.

Richard was out there working, clearing vines from the remaining trees and from the underbrush. Unfortunately, there were three types of vines and one of them was poison ivy. Need I say more. I spend this afternoon at the doctor getting the necessary medication to reduce swelling and itching to his arms, face, scalp and inside his throat. He should be back to normal in a couple of days and lots of drugs later.

And in the middle of all this, I have had guests, quite a few actually. So needless to say, I have been very busy. I will have a couple of days off (Monday and Tuesday). That should give me a bit of time to catch up. I have baking to do tonight - Zucchini bread and a sour cream coffee cake . I already baked a honey wheat bread. So on that note, have a happy and safe Memorial Day.
