 Spring has sprung! And it is a supreme reawakening of our gardens. Click on the photo above to feast you eyes on the beauty of it all! We have just been having a lot of fun here preparing for the summer season. We have been planting new flowers, creating new moods in the interior of the house, and just lately we have added an elegant rooftop garden onto the Chauffeur's Quarters that provides mind altering views.   Recently, I have received many requests for my cookbooks, The Resourceful Morsel, Mother's Morsel and Revisit The Morsel. I was in the process of creating another, Morsel Beach, but I decided to combine all the recipes into one master tome called "The Consummate Morsel". The Consummate is available now on cd! It will not be published as hard copy. If you are interested just e-mail me here: surgeonshouse@surgeonshouse.com. I have also included many new tasty recipes for this edition. For those "smart shoppers" among you who prefer to do a little research on your lodgings before you book them, we thought that we would add a page of reviews published in various magazines and journals. Since we are just starting this page as of May 2007, we only have two reviews to offer. We will be adding more as we find them. Click here to read what some other travelers had to say. Have you got three days vacation coming? Do you need a break from the stress and smog? Come up to the mile high clarity of Mingus Mountain and spend it at the Surgeon's House and put your life on pause. Sometimes we all have to take a break. Let us help you unwind, unworry, and de-stress. Give yourself and your loved one(s) the gift of a getaway . . . no cooking, no cleaning, no obligations - just fun and relaxation. We are open seven days a week for your convenience. Reserve a room or take a chance as a walk-in!   Click here for Mark's website The above paintings are by local "plein air" artist, Mark Hemleben. The paintings were done a year apart, and, I believe, reflect both the evolution of Mark as an artist and myself and the Surgeon's House as hostess and domicile. It seems that the house and the grounds inspire folks of an artistic bent. Often, my guests will draw, paint, or photograph scenes here that move them to creation. So, I have decided to share their efforts with you. Just click on Guest Artists to see some of their creativity. More News: This last year was an amazing display of Mother Nature's beauty. The gardens were flowering like never before. Take a tour and see for yourself. It was unbelievable.Just click on the following link. The Gardens With the help of a great team of masons, I have finally finished the upgrade on the fish ponds, and they are exquisite. The fish are ecstatic. Look and see! 
   
Spring is a great time for a personal or romantic getaway. The days are quiet and your room is warm and cozy. In the afternoons, the bright sun and warm air provide a stimulating environment for day hikes. The historic architecture takes you back to an earlier and more traditional time - when the pace of living was slower and allowed for the celebration of life. It's a perfect time to explore the old ghost town and imagine what it must have been like when it was a boom town in the wild west. The Mine Museum uptown and the State Park in the old Douglas Mansion both provide facinating glimpses into the colorful past of Jerome. Of course all the great shops and restaurants are open. The nights are not to be believed. You can walk around town and gaze at the billions of stars and galaxies that splash across the night sky. Jerome is probably one of the most romatic getaways in the Southwest. Do yourself and your loved one a favor and come see us!    I would like to thank the folks at LRL (Land Rover LifeStyle) for giving us such a marvelous write-up in their June 2006 issue. And let's not forget the grand views that stagger the mind at any time of year. The clear skies allow you to see clouds dropping over the curve of the earth sixty to a hundred miles away! The magnificent red rock cliffs of Sedona glow like fire in the late afternoon sun with their shifting shadows changing the view every few minutes.  And thanks again to Terry Molloy, my webmaster and flower photographer extraordinaire, for working with me to create the beautiful website you are visiting today. |
