What's Current? Despite a big mid-April snowfall, we know spring is close. We're gearing up for the kickoff event, Bayfield in Bloom, May 16-June 15. It's a month-long celebration of rebirth and re-juvenation. Click the Bayfield in Bloom icon on my home page. May 17 is the annual raising of the Big Top tent at Mt. Ashwabay. Come and participate...all hands are welcome...it's a great experience. | |  Bayfield’s Seasons at The Artesian House  | | | | Early Spring Offers Neat Contrasts: As spring arrives, we see a study in dramatic contrasts--with just a few days between them.

The same view on April 21 . . . The Artesian well on April 21, minus an abundant winter accumulation of snow and ice we thought might never disappear. | |  | |
