Spring Cleaning a 100-Year Old Inn

   We're busily going after all the little details in the inn--getting ready for the Busy Season.
New curtains--lacy, light and airy. Some rooms are getting a fresh coat of paint. Purchased new Eurotop mattresses and a few bedside tables and new bedside lamps. Several antique tables are getting a fresh-look and a couple of armchairs are getting new stylish cushions. The vacation rentals are getting painted and new kitchen counters. I'll post more photos of the re-do, in a few days.
 This list is endless but it's fun making Alexander's even more enjoyable for our guests.

Flowers--At Alexander's--So Many Varieties and Colors

Luckily for our flower gardens --the monsoon season's finally moved on and our cold/wet weather is giving way to bona fide summertime sun-filled days. Our flowers are loving the chance to do-their-stuff and grow into full and lush colorful gems.
My Numero Uno favorite summer flower is the Primula Vialli--(top photo). Their flowers look like little bottle brushes; bright red and purple. They have such easy-going dispositions and put on quite a show, way into the middle of summer.
Another favorite is the lupine (bottom photo). She's a same-time-next-year kind of gal. Huge masses of gorgeous purple flowers atop her bright green foliage. If I had to associate just one flower with Mount Rainier, it'd be the lupine. You'll find her all along the road to Rainier and then her tiny cousins blanket the higher elevations. Magnificent!
 I'll be posting more flower photos as the gardens fill out.
