Is Spring Finally Here?

Yesterday was Easter and a beautiful day.  We were inspired by both events.  We had Easter Bunny scones, egg puff casserole and ham/asparagus roll ups for breakfast. A

nd then today we put out a bouquet of daffodils and some china flower votives on the tables with colorful napkins for a a bright spring look!

Is It Spring?

Sunday was the first day of March and our lawn was mowed yesterday.  The camelia bush is starting to bloom, the daffodils are up and the tulips are pushing their leaves through the soil.  Yesterday evening, we finally got the primroses planted and the interior of the house is all decorated for St. Patrick's Day.  It sure looks like spring is here, but we are not quite sure we should believe it, yet.

The annual scholarship auction will be her in a couple of weeks and we are looking forward to that.  It is always a fun weekend.

Spring in Forks!

The weatherman predicted a 70% chance of rain today and it may still happen, but right now it is nothing but sun and a little wind.  There is proof of spring all around us with the tulips and bluebells coming out, but the best sign is our cherry tree is in bloom.  We are wondering how many cherries the birds will let us have this year?

The regular innkeepers are going to be gone to a family wedding for a couple of weeks and will try to keep up with posts if our travel computer cooperates.  In the meantime, enjoy May Day and Mother's Day!  Hope your spring is sunny and full of spring blooms.

Spring 2014

The sun is out, the birds are singing.  Spring is in the air, finally!  We know that there will be more rain to come, but for now we are enjoying the sunshine!

It has been quite a week.  The annual Quillayte Valley Scholarship auction was a huge success and broke all other records.  The amount raised for scholarships was $93,000!  Way to go Forks!  It is a wonder what this small community will do every year for students wanting to continue their education.  We are proud to be part of such an amazing community.

The new editor of the Forks Forum, Christie Baron, hosted an open house for the Chamber of Commerce and West End Business Association on Wednesday evening.  The new office looks great and Christi is doing a wonderful job at the Forum.  We are lucky to have her.

We could have deduced that spring was here given the increase of guests coming to us from abroad.  Last night we hosted guests from Finland and China.  If you drove by the inn yesterday or today, you would have seen those two very distinctive flags along with our own stars and stripes and the Canadian flag.

This weekend we will be changing our decorations from St. Patrick's Day to Easter.  One of our terrific guests blessed us by giving us a Ukranian Easter Egg.  It is the first Easter decoration to go and it is proudly hanging from our dining room chandelier.  Thanks, Toby.

It Might be Spring!

Last week we had several inches of rain fall in Forks as well as, snow, sleet and hail.  But today we have warmth and sun and the first daffodils springing up, so we think spring really is here.  We know that the rain will come back, but we are happy for now.

We still have rooms available for this week and weekend.  Come on over and enjoy spring on the peninsula!

The Snow Drops are Up

We have had a few lovely spring like days this month.  Enough to make us think that spring is on the way.  Mother Nature seems to agree.  The snow drops are up and daffodil and tulip shoots are making their way up through the soil.

Spring, Where Are You?

Just when we thought spring was on its way, we wake up to snow! Poor primroses. Innkeeper Bill is out shoveling the walk at the Miller Tree Inn, again.

Spring in Forks

The Cullen Family is off for a hike in the Olympic Mountains, but at their home, the rhodys are in full bloom. With the sun out, it feels like spring!

Happy Groundhog's Day from the Cullen House

February 2, 2010

All of us at the Cullen House would like to wish everyone a Happy Groundhog's Day. We heard that the official Pennsylvania Groundhog saw his shadow this morning. Any groundhog in Forks would also have seen his shadow today. We had a lovely February day that makes us think that spring is right around the corner. We put some new primroses out on the front porch and some cute little daffodils from local photographer, Cheryl Barth.
