I was working in my office and happened to look through the screen toward the hill I see every day. The sun was starting to set and it was so beautiful I had to take a photo - it is from where I sit and through the screen. (The leaves are actually green but the sun turned them golden!)

We have a new amenity in Shinnston, West Virginia that is available for our guests.

It is Taste of Fitness, a well-equipped fitness center that is WALKING Distance (3 blocks via the rail-trail) from Gillum House Bed & Breakfast. They are open 7 days a week from 5 AM to 11 PM. Walk-ins are $10.00. Took some photos today for all to see:

Today I harvested my first asparagus of 2026! Good dinner tonight. And in the very near future some guests will have asparagus served with their locally-sourced meat, farm-fresh local eggs, and fresh-roasted, fresh-ground coffee of their country of choice (we apologize that we only have 31 countries of coffee bean to roast for our guests).

Great!

In what local media outlets are generously calling “a major gig,” Hillbilly Appalachia Holler have officially landed a coveted performance slot at the Taylor County Fair, on a flatbed trailer…at 7:…

This Basket is for a Silent Auction Fundraiser. I call it Shinnston & Wonderful West Virginia.

Everything in this basket was made either in Shinnston or in West Virginia. Maple products from Wellsburg (my home territory) about 100 miles north). Moonshine, whiskey, & vodka (award-winning in International competitions) about 30 miles south. Mead & honey from 3 miles away, Candles, coasters, coffee scoop, salt spreader for sidewalk salt, WV ornaments, scarf, & basket made in Shinnston. Albums & CDs by locals. A quart jar of coffee beans freshly roasted by Gillum House Bed & Breakfast, plus a mug from the North Bend Rails to Trails Foundation (made in Cowen, WV) featuring Tunnel #2 (one of 13 on that trail), and a coffee grinder (only thing not WV). Also WV Living magazine Best of West Virginia issue and a 2026 WV Tourism Guide. Come see all the WONDERFUL in Wild & Wonderful West Virginia.

The Gillum House Bed & Breakfast serves and uses only Family Roots Farm maple syrup and maple products.

Even with the warm temps the last few days, our tap holes are still dry. Why? Because the trees themselves are still frozen. 🌳❄️

When to tap is always a big debate among maple syrup producers. Timing matters — because after all, it all starts at the tree!

Tapping too early can hinder yields greatly but waiting to tap can cost you a run or two. It’s really finding the”sweet spot” that works for your operation (including the backyard sugar makers!)

Follow along as we head into the 2026 season and share more of the process from tree to table! 🍁

I went to the Municipal League Conference. I am so very proud of our West Virginia Municipal League for taking care of people who needed food - the weather was BAD! Just another example of how West Virginia does things. I did not see the show in the lobby (sad to say), but I DID see this man work his magic at the event. Excellent! IF you are looking for entertainment - call him!
