I wouldn’t do laundry without these! They do an amazing job and I would highly recommend!

The birds are very active at the Inn, would be interesting to see how many can be heard.

Doug is replacing the mulch and we have roses growing underneath the deck. Pretty interesting that we named our Inn, The Rose Marie Inn and here are random roses growing. He is going to try and transplant them.

She has skin that drinks, a tongue faster than the eye can follow, and an appetite for a thousand insects a night. Most people see her hop across the patio after rain and assume the worst.💧

The American toad doesn't damage gardens. She doesn't chew wiring. She doesn't pick fights with anyone larger than a slug. She eats the slugs, the beetles, the cutworms, and the ants that overrun the pantry — then settles into a damp hollow before sunrise.

She's the most broadly distributed toad in North America. Skin that absorbs water instead of swallowing it. A pair of glands behind her eyes that turn most predators away. And each spring, a journey back to the pond where she was hatched.

A clay pot turned on its side beneath the hostas, or a shallow water dish in the shade. That's the entire ask 🐸

Look at the benefits of purifying your drinking water. I purchased this for the Inn, after every guest I clean it and refill it the day before the next guest. This is not only beneficial it is a statement piece that also provides a calming sensation with the drips from the filtration. You can purchase one at: www.thewatermachine.com

Nature at the Inn

Bought this for the Inn. What a great way to finish the day or start the morning. You would be amazed on how much “gunk” our faces pick up during a day not to forget the tension and stress.
The best part, you facial creams and lotions will absorb more because the pores are open from the warm towel. I am really big into castor oil lately.

Those are not my hands, lol
