Brrrr! It’s cold outside. When it gets this cold, guests love to curl up by the crackling fireplace with a great book and a hot cup of coffee or tea. And if it gets just a little warmer, they find their way to our cozy front porch.

    A Gentleman in Moscow

  2. Tammy, Thank you for the heads up on the TV broadcast coming to Cape Charles. I am excited to watch to see if I recognize any places. I also love your picks of books to read. I have already read The Magnolia Story. Loved it. I want to read Two By Two and get the Bill O’Reilly book for John. I see by your porch picture you have removed your swing. Or maybe it was on the other end. Or maybe we need to come back for a stay.

    • Diana, sorry for the VERY tardy reply, just figuring out how to do that in word press! I think you need to come back and hang on the porch again to check it out 😉 Right now it is draped in autumn decor and a touch of scary creatures scattered about! And this morning guests got to take in the magnificent migration of monarch butterflies, it is an amazing site. Check out next months blog with some info on it!

      PS we didn’t move the swing or take it down, I think that is a shot of the other end! You know that swing is a favorite guest spot ( and innkeeper too!)
