The Three Muses, our fountain, in Autumn

This picture of the fountain of the Three Muses, made of marble from Baci, Italy, was taken in the fall when the Copper Beech Tree just to the east of the fountain was a rich burgundy. The trunk of the Copper Beech is probably more than four feet in diameter. The area under the branches is covered by a soft mossy green covering and the roots poke thorough in a few places and leaves can grow off them right near the ground. A few of the roots hold water after a rainstorm and I have seen birds bathing there.

However, I just turned around and the violets and daffodils are popping up, opening to the warm spring sun. I met with our landscape designer last week and our gardener this week and after my walk on the wooded trails (to the west of the mansion), I have come to the conclusion that the Berkshires can capture the best of spring. . (Pardon my giddy excitement, it is the first real day of spring today after all!)

The flowers beds are about to bloom, wedding season is beginning, and I’m meeting a couple this weekend to plan their wedding at the Winthrop Estate…. Ah spring!
