Well, I love the way my DG home page always says "Welcome Home" so that's my vote for Betty's B & B (say that real fast ten times!). Also, I think people return to B & B's for (in no particular order)

Comfortable and comforting homelike atmosphere, as in country or Victorian or rustic with lots of interesting things to discover. A plethora of fresh (preferable, unless guests are prone to allergies) and/or dried flower arrangements (check) are always nice.

Pleasant outdoor " spaces" with a bit of room to wander about and explore interesting nooks and crannies (check)

Cleanliness. (double check) Also, nice fresh smelling quality bed linens and towels (check)

Simple, abundant tasty food and drink. (check)

A charming proprietress, perceptive enough to follow a guest’s lead as to whether to engage in entertaining light hearted conversation or solitude and quiet (triple check)

The floor mat looks smashing.

Liz.....beautiful leaf. Two sacks of cement for one leaf! Imagine. Sad news about fil but glad other opinions/alternative procedures are being sought.

Nodding off, back tomorrow….

Today.
Best? Found my three daturas are really four. A nice bonus. Now, to get them to bloom before frost.

Worst? Buried, I tell you simply buried in cucumbers! I’m at a loss…I swear, I’m about to begin midnight commando runs on the neighbors cars….anyone foolish enough to leave windows down or doors unlocked will be in for a surprise, come morning. I’ve begun tossing those with the slightest mar or defect right into the compost pile. More of them qualify as such as I’ve taken to leaving my harvest basket on the other side of the garden fence and throwing the cukes up into the air, over the broccoli, over the beans, over the fence, and into the basket…a distance of about 25’ or 30’. I’m getting pretty good, too. Thank God I didn’t plant squash this year. (vegetable rant over:-o)

Learned? I don’t like cucumbers.
