Forks is gearing up for our Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. The events start tomorrow with Kiddies Play Day and Moonlight Madness with the downtown merchants. Most everyone will have a special going between 7PM and 11PM tomorrow night.

Though our weather today started with a cloud cover. Currently the sun is out, so vampires will be sparkling! They will definitely need to wait until twilight to take advantage of this weekend's activities.

We hope that everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day Weekend. Here in Forks, at the Miller Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast, we have been enjoying some sun and clouds and very little rain! Hurray!

At "twilight" last evening, it was sunny and drizzling and we saw the most amazing rainbow from our side yard. It was quite beautiful, so we thought we would share it with you. We think that the Cullen family would have approved.

On another note, we have almost complete the work on Carlisle's Office. We need to refinish a desk and get a few more pictures on the wall, then we hope to get a picture posted on the blog.
