OCTOBER! Really?

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

I can’t believe it is already October!  I was running this morning with neighbors (yes, me), and realized how wonderfully cool it was.  When the sun eventually came up, I saw how fantastic the Governor’s Mansion District of the Quapaw Quarter looks bathed in sunlight.  The houses are truly splendid.  And it did make the pain of running at 6:30 am a little more bearable.  But, October?

Arkansas really knows how to do October.  There are just so many outdoor activities, and the festivals!  As the temperatures drop down to the fabulous range, Arkansans come out of the air conditioning.

On Saturday, the 6th, there are the Junction Bridge Regatta Sailboat Exhibition Races.  This pedestrian bridge was just dedicated this time last year and we are already making great use of it with wonderful activities like this.  The Grande Maumelle Sailing Club is putting on the Rowing Exhibition Races on the river.  Music, snacks, and beverages provided, just bring your own chair and enjoy the afternoon.

On the 9th, Need to Breathe will be in concert at Robinson Music Hall; and Tales of the Crypt is going on at Mount Holly Cemetery.  Bassnectar is on the 10th at the River Market Amphitheatre.  Then there is Brad Paisley on the 11th at Verizon.

Between the Haunted Cathedral and World Cheese Dip Championship, there are lot’s of family activities just minutes from Robinwood.  Come visit us and join the fun.

What to Expect From a Perfect Little Rock, AR FAll

Friday, September 14th, 2012

The brutal heat of the summer has finally broken!  Now that September has arrived, there is much to do in Little Rock, AR.

Now through September 23, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre is presenting Shakespeare’s Henry V.  Plan that with a lovely dinner at Caio or Lulav, paired with a night at Robinwood B&B and you have a perfect weekend.

Not into Shakespeare?  Try an evening at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse featuring “Church Basement Ladies”.  Murry’s comedies are always sure to please.

Looking for something to put shivers down your spine?  Schedule ” A Haunted Evening Tour” with Linda Howell (501)681-3857 for your Friday evening fun. Or save the date of October 9 and tour Mount Holly Cemetery with ghostly guides lighting your way in Tales of the Crypt.

More of a Civil War buff?  The Old State House Museum is featuring “Battle Colors of Arkansas”, varied roles Arkansas played in the American Civil War.

Think the great outdoors is more your style?  Bring your bike or just hike the Arkansas River Trail.    36 miles connecting 23 parks and great river views on both sided of the Arkansas River.

So anyway you slice it, Little Rock is putting its best face forward for wonderful fall temperatures and lots to do.  See you at Robinwood B&B.

Early Spring in Little Rock, AR

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Spring has come early to Little Rock.  The azaleas and dogwood are blooming.  Trees all over the city are leafing out and green is certainly the color of the month.  With temperatures reaching into the mid 80′s this weekend, it feels more like May than April.  In a beautiful historic neighborhood, we have a front row seat.

Sitting on the front porch, I am grateful for the beautiful homes cloaked in blossoms and color.  The warmth for the early spring can change a dreary morning into a dazzling day, full of promises of adventure.

Mount Holly Cemetery a few blocks away, is beautiful with  Irises, flowering trees, and carpets of wild flowers.  There is no better time to stroll through its peaceful lanes.

Don’t miss this wonderful time of year in Little Rock.   It just doesn’t get better than this.

Feels Like Spring…

Friday, January 28th, 2011

With temperatures in the mid 60′s today, and 70′s tomorrow, we are reminded that winter will not last forever.  Very soon the flower’s will bloom and the days will be longer.  Walking by the Arkansas River will be a wonderful treat.

Robinwood is only 20 blocks from the River, and a short distance to the River Market.  Make plans now to watch the azaleas bloom in a beautifully restored neighborhood.

Memorial Day Weekend in Little Rock, AR

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Riverfest kicks off summer in Little Rock.  Bands of all types will make music by the river.  Just about any musical taste can be satisfied this weekend.  Fireworks will be held on Sunday night and a cast of thousands will join in the festivities!  Fun food that most of us avoid will be part of the adventure.

Historic Mount Holly Cemetery is a great place to honor our past on this weekend.  Many past governors, senators, and various other local citizens who made Little Rock what it is today,  rest there.  With the roses in full bloom, this is a great place to tour and enjoy the lush shade trees that abound.
