OPEN FOR BUSINESS

We are officially open for business. We have two bedrooms completed, with private deck off of each bedroom. We have printed a brochure and started mailing it out. We have two reservations for October, so we are off and running. Since we are still "under construction" - the third bedroom -- we are offering our rooms at a discount, $59.00 a night. Cash or check only at this time; an ATM machine is available in the town of Watonga, 5 miles down the road. Our phone number is 214-763-3823 or 580-623-4269. Our email is barrettbb@yahoo.com -- easy to remember! Andy and I are eager to share our little piece of paradise. September, October, and November are ideal weatherwise. I am still working on getting the website up and running.

We continue to work on the gardens, which is a long term project but coming alone. I have lots of things blooming -- crepe myrtles, rose of sharon, cosmos, hibiscus, phlox, calla lily, datura, , salvia, verbena, Turk's cap, and even cactus. Andy has trimmed more trees to let more sun on the yard so that the grass can fill in. We are looking forward to the time we can have a "concert on the lawn." We have only seen one snake this year, and it was in the mouth of a roadrunner! Skeeter, the estate dog, and Mel, the mouser, are really helpful at keeping the unwanted critters at bay, and sometimes even the wanted wildlife. Skeeter loves to chase the squirrels and quail.
