Bird Watching in Eureka Springs

Filed under: Bird Watching,Things to do in Eureka Springs,Wildlife — rosehall @ 7:58 pm

Many people come to this area to walk in the woods and see the awesome bird life we have in this part of Arkansas. At breakfast the other morning our guests decided it wasn’t necessary to go anywhere but to just look out the windows of The Morning Room while they were having breakfast and watch the show. In less than an hour an incredible array of bird life arrived at the feeders in the back patio.

We saw the Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chicadee White-breasted Nuthatch, Carolina Wren, Eastern Towhee (who passes through each year), Chipping Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, House Sparrow, House Finch, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker, Blue Jay and Mourning Dove. All of these while they were having breakfast at The Inn at Rose Hall.

Eureka Springs Wedding: A Special Moment

Filed under: Things to do in Eureka Springs,Weddings — rosehall @ 7:20 pm

In the past seven years we have done hundreds of weddings here at The Inn at Rose Hall. Each one is special but every once in a while there is one that could be called extraordinary. It happened this weekend.

Just before the wedding started the groom slipped back into the kitchen and handed me the bride’s wedding band and said, “she hasn’t seen this one yet.” They had shopped for their wedding rings together and had made a practical decision about the ones they purchased. The bride had given me the practical rings for the ceremony. Without her knowledge the groom had gone back to the jewelry store and bought her the wedding band she had absolutely adored. The one that wasn’t practical just drop-dead gorgeous. When the groom slipped that ring on the bride’s finger I didn’t think we would make it through the ceremony. She was overcome with emotions and completely surprised. It will a story that is told to their children over and over.

Spring in Eureka Springs

The first sign of spring.

The first sign of spring arrived this past week. What a welcome sign! Growing up in Colorado I remember the crocus would peak through the snow and we would know spring was just around the corner.

It’s time to make your plans to visit us here in Eureka Springs. It’s been a long winter and we’re ready for spring. It will be fun to see our old friends meet new people this year.

This next week I will post some of the events that are being planned for this season.

And don’t forget the Eureka Springs St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 15th which starts at 2PM. This event began in 1993 and has continued to expand with more of the usual Eureka Springs outrageous floats, music and even a mechanical dragon and a unicorn pony. Eureka Springs loves a parade!

Eureka Springs - Grotto Springs at Christmas

Time around the holidays is so precious. We’ve lived in Eureka Springs now for seven years and there are so many things we have never taken the time to do. Tonight I took time to drive around the Historic Loop and view the Christmas decorations. Outstanding!

Many of our visitors to the Inn at Rose Hall comment about how pretty the gardens are here in Eureka Springs. It doesn’t matter if it is spring, summer, fall or winter, they are outstanding. Our very creative city gardener, DonE Allen, has outdone himself this fall and winter. He has created arrangements in the bird baths at each of the major springs and the entrance parkway to our village that are spectacular. And it’s done on a shoestring with DonE collecting treasures all year to spray paint and glitter. Make a point of looking at this man’s masterpieces the next time you are here in Eureka Springs.
