What a Storm!

Yesterday we awoke to a big rainstorm.  We were very excited to see it, as it has been an exceptionally dry and warm summer.  Our fire danger was very high and the rains helped with that.  Then, the winds came!  We have downed limbs all over our yard.  It will take quite an effort to clean things up.  Many people surrounding us, lost power.  We were some of the lucky ones, who did not.  Roads into Rialto and the Hoh Rainforest were closed yesterday.  We are hoping they will open up today.  Our guests will be disappointed if they cannot get down to the rainforest.

Today we woke up to sunshine, but we know not to get too excited.  More rain is on the way.  Innkeeper Bill says it is because he is going on a hiking trip this week.  It could be.  It rained on last year's hike too!

Most of us are thankful for the rain, though.

Where in the World Is This Flag From?

Saturday, May 14, 2011

We had some wonderful guests from the country represented by this flag. Do you know where they were from?

We have had many Twilight guests from all over the United States this past week. They got to see some sunshine and LOTS of rain, too.

It Has Been Raining in Forks!

January 17, 2011

It has really been raining in Forks! Hard to believe?!?! Though the rain makes for good vampire spotting weather, the Cullen House cat has been pouting and not wanting to go outside. At least it is supposed to let up a little in the next few days.

The Cullen House Prepares for Halloween

October 29, 2010

Today is a lovely and sunny fall day between the heavy rains of earlier this week and those that we hear are to come in the next few days. The forecast says that those out for Halloween, may get wet, so be prepared with rain coats.

As you can see from the picture, Edward was in charge of carving our Halloween pumpkin this year.

It is Stephenie Meyer's Weekend 2010

Sunday, September 12, 2010

We all woke up to a very "Vampire" Day. Rain and wind have been sweeping through Forks, but it has not dampened the spirits of the Twilight faithful. Here at the Miller Tree Inn, we have been casting an informal vote on who favors Team Edward or Team Jacob. According to our polls, Edward is ahead. More of his cherry chip cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and red sprinkles have been eaten than Jacob's dark chocolate cupcakes with coconut pecan frosting. Pocket Edward is pointing to his favorite in the picture!

As for this year's birthday card, the inside of the card has been completely filled up with signatures. Today we are working on the outside of the card.

Wet and Wild January at the Cullen House

January 15, 2010

We have been having rain and wind in Forks. More than 5 inches of rain was reported for this past Monday and there were some high winds last night. Should make for some great storm watching at the beach this weekend with really high waves.

In the meantime, the Cullen family has gone winter camping in the Olympic Mountains. They were hoping to do some snowshoe hiking.

The Snow is Gone

The snow is mostly melted around the house making driving to Forks much easier. There was a little snow mixed in with the rain today and some hail, wind and sunshine. The elk are sensing that the Cullens or their friends are nearby, as we haven't seen them in the fields for several days.
