I was just thinking myself that the tavern hadn't been open for a while. You'll have to clear out all of the tree needles and such (tip it on end is what I threaten to do to clean my house, and a Mudcat, you really can clean a place that way!)

Locale--how about a nice warm and sunny place, not a cold and rainy one. You could use my back yard, but you'll have to be careful about the poison ivy back by the creek, and I don't want that jello pit turning my driveway into a slippery mess. Move it toward the back so visitors won't step in the veggie garden.   

That's just one suggestion. The honeysuckle is in full-bloom, there are lots of songbirds, and the June bugs aren't too bad yet.
