We are in the final days of summer and we are looking forward to the cooler weather and the beauty of fall.  Over the next few weeks: the deer are changing from their red summer coats to there shinny gray winter coats;   fall officially arrives (September 22); the Corvettes will come to town (Corvette weekend October 1 & 2); it will be time for the War Eagle Crafts Fair (October 14-17); the leaves will turn (who knows); and the Holidays will be right around the corner.

This photograph is just a sampling of the scrumptious bounty that comes out of Beverly’s kitchen (I am allowed in the kitchen but only to assist; except when Beverly is out of town).  The recipes for our breakfast dishes as well as some family favorites are compiled into our cookbook “A Celebration of Food” pick one up while you are visiting or just give us a call.

Don’t forget the December Sweet Treats tour Saturday, December 11, 2010 call for details and specials.

Well, that’s all for now — Doug.

Our gardens are truly lush and the birds are in abundance and loving it. So you might ask what types of birds are visiting our backyard? Well the list is extensive. While the gardens are lush, we also entice them with six seed feeders, two suet feeders, and four Humming Bird feeders! This year we have the honor of enjoying watching Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks, Red Headed Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Humming Birds, Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, Finches, and more! Along with the birds, we get other wildlife to visit as well such as deer and mixed breed squirrels.

We invite you to come and stay at the Inn, and join us view the wildlife while enjoying breakfast in the morning room!

To date one hundred and seventy-nine birds had been identified in the Eureka Springs area.  Among the most common are Eagles and Pileated Woodpeckers.  But best of all if romance is on your mind, you can “get two birds with one stone”.  Imagine you and your loved one surrounded by luxury, tree tops, birds,  and the sky!  Reserve the Tree Top Suite, bring your binoculars, and enjoy the getaway. 

The birds are “tweeting with happiness” as we sit on the porch enjoying a refreshing glass of ice tea.  We welcome you to come,  join us, and enjoy bird watching!

As a result, we have much more sunlight to share with our perennial garden. If you enjoy gardening this special is just for you (and your loved one)! During April and May bring some plants that you would like to share with Arsenic and Old Lace and you will get three nights for the price of two when traveling Monday through Thursday. Or, if you decide to visit Friday thru Sunday and stay two evenings, you will receive a 15% discount. And oh yes, you will be able to plant the perennials also!
So you ask, which plants will work best? Plants that can thrive in shade/partial shade, drought tolerant, and most important deer resistant! Examples of plants that would work well include Globe Thistle, Coneflower, Columbine, Red Hot Poker, Lilly-of-the-Valley, and many others! Additionally, we will add your name to our “Donors Corner” and provide loving care for your donated perennial for its lifespan.
Break out your gardening gloves and visit us in March and April!
