Birch Ridge Inn with a backdrop of fall color

The color change in the trees is continuing it's advance. Fall foliage visitors, aka "leaf peepers", should be very happy with the colors in the Green Mountains this season. it looks like there has been a great combination of moisture and fair temperatures all summer to make this fall foliage season especially brilliant.

Mary and I have been busy around the inn on a variety of odd jobs to get the inn ready for our fall foliage guests. I spent a good part of today in the kitchen, doing the usual pre-foliage maintenance to make sure that the equipment is running properly so we can feed our guests. Mary has been starting to go through the gardens, culling the plants that have passed so that the plants that shine in the fall can rightfully take center stage.

While we have had guests at the inn each night, there is a sharp upturn in guests later this week, which will carry straight through until the week after Columbus Day. Starting this Wednesday (September 27th), our restaurant will be serving dinner nightly until the end of the fall season. It should be a great fall season for visitors to Vermont.
