and most Vermonter's will tell you it is Spring.  Tiny little green buds, flowers starting to push through the ground, birds have returned, bright blue skies, clean fresh air, warmer days, cooler nights and most of the snow has melted.  Springtime is breathtaking everywhere in Vermont.  We're especially lucky here at the Inn as our property is surrounded by lilac bushes.  Their incredible beauty and amazing fragrance draws me outside and I tend to linger a bit longer than usual.  Guests will be arriving shortly and will be lifting off from the backyard on a hot-air balloon journey.  No matter how many times I have seen the balloon rise and no matter how many times I have assisted with the pre-flight preparations, it's always fun and exciting.  And if a balloon flight is a bit more adventurous than you're looking for, consider a massage, performed in the comfort and privacy of your room.  No matter what your choice might be, you will have an unforgettable vacation here in Quechee.
