April Showers, April Flowers

We had our share of April showers this year and it has caused an explosion of April flowers in our yard.  Most flowerbeds are covered with blue bells.  The daffodils are on their way out, but still hanging in there and the tulips are up and swaying in the breeze.  The azaleas are popping out and the rhodys will be next.

We left in early April to take a train trip to Montana and were wowed by the colors upon our return.  I think that spring may be my favorite season!

We did miss the grand opening of the Rainforest Arts Center.  This Arts Center rose from the ashes of the old Dazzled by Twilight store and is really a welcome addition to the Forks core.  Many of the September Twilight activities are scheduled to take place in this building and we think our visitors will be really pleased.

Keep looking at the Forks Chamber of Commerce Events page.  Perhaps you can catch a performance, lecture, movie or some other happening at the Arts Center.  We currently have room availability for most nights in May, including Memorial Day weekend.

April 2014

The calendar says it is spring, but the temperatures this week have been pretty cold.  We had 3 lovely days of sunshine before the rain came back, so that is pretty typical spring weather for Forks.

We had a house full of young, wonderful, creative and energetic guests this week.  Once we have been given the go ahead, we will write more about them.  For right now, we will say that it made for a fun and exciting week for us.

We also had a lovely couple visit us from France, so Bill got out the French flag and put it up to welcome them.
Rainfest is coming up later this month.  The Quilt Club will be having classes and a quilt show April 25 - 27.  It is always a hit with guests.  There are usually other activities around town that weekend, too.  The Forks High graduating classes of the 70's are having a joint all day reunion at the Elks Club.  Peninsula College also usually hosts an event.  For other happenings please see the Forks Chamber of Commerce website at:  www.forkswa.com

We still have lots of availability for April and May.  Please come and see us!

April Showers Bring May Flowers?

April 28, 2012

With all the rain that we have had this spring, if April showers bring May flowers then by this time next week we should have a million of them!  In the meantime we have been enjoying these daffodils that we can see out our kitchen window while making breakfast for our guests at the Miller Tree Inn.

Happy April Fool's Day.

Edward Picks up a New Mattress

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone! The weather has been playing a bit of an April Fool's joke on us today. Sunny one minute and rainy, cold and breezy the next. A typical Forks day!

Yesterday, Edward went to the Serta factory in Puyallup with us to help us pick up a new mattress for our soon to be finished, Ella's Suite. Edward, did not need our help lifting the mattress to the top of the van.
