The weather in Lenox has been glorious this week.  The summer-like days bring warming sun to the daffodils and trees and they are blooming everywhere.  We uncovered our fountain, taking off the heavy winter tent, and we are into spring cleaning on the grounds, and getting tan too. We are looking forward to the families who will be coming for their vacations or special occasions this season and have been busy on email, being in touch with the guests to answer questions, and make plans and reservations.  Spring time brings a flurry of activity from everyone thinking about the summer.    Happy Spring!

Fall Foliage at the Winthrop Estate

From the verandah, you can see Yokum Ridge and now the hillside is covered with fall colors.  It is to the west of the mansion so the colors change drastically in the light from sunrise to sunset.  You can see the Copper Beach, the Japanese Maple, the Ginko Biloba, the Blue Spruce, and the varieties of Evergreens.  If you start to walk along the edge of the lawn or explore into the woods on our walking trails, you see even more variety of colors and leaves, and you smell the crisp, fall, sweet fragrances of autumn in New England.
