Tomorrow is the big day. The Snapdragon Inn, known to the town of Windsor as Bertha Frothingham's home is going to greet its first guests for an open house since it's renovation. If you have not yet visited the site, take a look at www.snapdragoninn.com. Also look at www.snapdragoninn.blogspot.com. Anyway the word around town is that the homes former occupants from Maxwell Evarts and his family to Maxfield Perkins to good old Bert will be on hand. We are down to about 15 hours, and even though it is midnight, there are at least a dozen people working here at the Inn tonight. Paula and I have been sleeping here for the last week, and the place has a great spirit about it. Even at nearly two hundred years old, it seems tickled to have the energy that this bunch has showered on it.
Unbelievable amount of work, but there has been fun around here as well. Mike Cammock's friend Kieran from New Zealand has been volunteering and he has been a champ. He and the Chrisinator (as he calls Chris Vial) together with Jordan and others have been cleaning up the landscaping. In the process, they found that the ivy vines had grown so big and high up the trees over the years that they could literally hang and swing on them, just like the jungle!
Kieran was testing it's strength, so Chris decided to give it the ultimate test.
It is just a peaceful place!
Tonight was the Windsor Chamber of Commerce sponsored fireworks. Nate Larson is the Chamber President, and no less that 4 of the clan are on the board. They did a great job on the show, and many from the town came out.
The Inn looks great with the fireworks in the backdrop. The next two pictures are Chris Vial's, taken with the D3.
Ok, now for the mystery critter. This was taken near the Connecticut River in Cornish, New Hampshire. I know it is a baby deer, so that guess doesn't win. What deer would be found with a baby fawn this time of year in Cornish?
So now it's down to less than 14 and a half hours. Chelle in on her knees scrubbing tile, Paula is cleaning individual stair rails, and I am blogging. Hmmm.
Stay tuned for the unveiling!

and she didn't have any help from anyone.
I have two things left to add to my list of 50 things i want to do in my life and I think staying at this Inn should be #49 on my list. It is so beautiful. I'm going to check out the site now.
Maddie guesses it's called a polka dot deer.
