Our porch is set up and ready to be enjoyed!. This wonderful 25 X 25 space is open for all to enjoy in the spring, summer and fall months. Please feel free to use it when ever you stay with us. A wonderful place, after sunset, to watch the wild life and relax.

The spring storms in Oxford have not do much damage to our property. We lost a chimney cap and that was quickly replaced. Our Trees received their annual pruning but, so far we have not lost one this year. We do have a bumper crop of Moles that are well nourished from the Cicadas infestation of the past year. Please be careful, if walking the grounds, of the mole holes ------they can provide problems for all of us.

The Miami Art Museum has a wonderful exhibit of Pottery that our guests have raved about. Check the Miami University site for the listings for Craft Summer. There are still some openings in some of the classes and this is a fantastic weeks study for those interested. The Annual Red Brick Rasta takes place May 5th from 5-8 and starting May 6th our Farmers Markets are open!
