I think a good one. A clear warm night and it's only the end of March. I feel for all the people who don't live on the west coast and especially on Salt Spring Island. We are getting ready for vacation season- the saturday market starts next week and we are getting ready for our first two retreats of the summer; Gerson Cleanse and an NVC weekend. We've given the cabin it's big spring clean and are getting our other accommodations ready;the garden level suites and the main house. We are still toying with the idea of having B&amp;B rooms this year but haven't made up our mind. See you soon!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>The Cherry Blossoms are blooming</title><id>http://ahappinest.com/blog/2010/3/12/the-cherry-blossoms-are-blooming.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://ahappinest.com/blog/2010/3/12/the-cherry-blossoms-are-blooming.html"/><author><name>[Your Name Here]</name></author><published>2010-03-12T07:13:38Z</published><updated>2010-03-12T07:13:38Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-CA"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 400px;" src="http://ahappinest.com/storage/IMG_0325.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1268378125490" alt="" /></span></span>Well I was actually trying to photograph the water dripping and sparkling on the cherry blossoms but either I'm not a good enough photographer or my camera isn't good enough? Could be both!</p>
<p>Spring has sprung around here. The cherry blossoms are blossoming. Same for the rhododendrons. Now would be a great time to come visit. Just putting it out there!</p>]]></content></entry></feed>
