The First Day of Spring
by Christina Rossetti

I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing, robin, sing;
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.

I wonder if the springtide of this year
Will bring another Spring both lost and dear;
If heart and spirit will find out their Spring,
Or if the world alone will bud and sing:
Sing, hope, to me;
Sweet notes, my hope, soft notes for memory.

The sap will surely quicken soon or late,
The tardiest bird will twitter to a mate;
So Spring must dawn again with warmth and bloom,
Or in this world, or in the world to come:
Sing, voice of Spring,
Till I too blossom and rejoice and sing.

The Cardinal
All of the rooms at The Ida Grey are named for our beloved Ida Grey’s favorite birds. The primary bedroom is The Cardinal. Ida Grey was an avid bird watcher and her yard is home to thousands of birds. Northern Cardinals are cherished songbirds and are among the many birds that can be spotted perched on our feeders each and every day of the year.

Green grass, fresh blooms, and longer days. We couldn’t be more ready for  spring at The Ida Grey!

There’s something about Christmas at The Ida Grey that feels like a story you’ve heard before, the kind you want to hear again and again. Evergreen swags drape the upstairs balcony, tied with red velvet ribbons. Wreaths—magnolia, cedar, and spruce—rest on the doors, quiet and elegant, while the lamp posts and garden gate have their own touch of the season. It’s a southern Christmas, simple and timeless, unfolding right here.

Which table would you gather around this Thanksgiving?

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been dreaming about it—the turkey and ham, the dressing, that tangy cranberry and Brussels sprout salad that surprises everyone, and of course, pumpkin pie and ’s buttermilk pecan pie—a family favorite that always disappears first. But the meal is only part of it.

The real magic happens when you set the table—creating a space where your people come together. Stories shared, laughter spilling over, and a pause, however brief, to savor the goodness that anchors us.

We can hardly wait🦃
