It's Wednesday, sunny and warm after a snowy and cold Tuesday. I'm sitting on our fixed up front stairs waving at the good people of Todd as they drive past on Railroad Grade Road. The mayflowers are blooming beside our peeling beech tree. Daffodils and hyacinths are popping up along the roadside. Sure, we still have a little fire going in the bakery to keep the chill off, but it's definitely starting to look a lot like spring in the high country. The periwinkle is blossoming and the trees are slowly starting to bud and bloom. Our birds are a little rag tag in their molting season but who isn't this time of year?
Like our bird friends we're in the process of putting on our summer finery and gussying up the joint for y'all. Emmy is busy spring cleaning at the store during the week in order to make room for more seating this summer. We've got a new blog and a new look. If you've been by the bakery in the past month, or so, you may have noticed that the chicken cage/ dog hang out is gone and in its stead is a beautiful, brand new porch-- thanks to the guys at Heart of the High Country Realty (our new upstairs neighbors) for putting it in for us!
Spring is a time for celebrating change and growth. We're so pleased to be in the process of our own growth here at the Merc and hope you won't be shy coming in and checking it out. Some things, however, never change. We're still baking up high quality, reasonably priced treats and breads on the weekends and will expand our hours as soon as summertime is in full swing. Stop by and enjoy the weather and a treat. We're always happy to have you!
