They came, they saw and they accomplished…Clean Up Weekend 2013
Clean up weekend is a reminder that Community builds dreams. Every week people who see the campground for the first time tell me that they’re blown away by the creativity and the gardens…the general atmosphere in the park. I think it’s the residual energy of past guests that they’re feeling. This past weekend really brought that belief home. …

Cleaning Up for Clean Up Weekend
We’ve had an amazing stretch of weather…and we’ve all been spending more time outside than in because there are projects happening all over the campground…I don’t dare take photos of the messiest ones yet but soon I’ll show you the store/office completely re-done and the bathhouse has been given a new ceramic tile floor and…

What did Your World Sound Like Today?
My world crackled with dried pine boughs, the gurgle of the stream (quivering with elvers), the lapping of the waves, the distant sound of bell buoys and the cacophony of sea birds…gulls and ducks and osprey. The fog changes our perceptions of distance…Steven’s chainsaw at the art studio sounded miles away but the bell buoys…

Maggie Moved Out
Maggie, our Navajo Churro lamb spent her first night outside yesterday…our bottle fed baby has moved out of the living room at 57 days old and we were all ready for it! We worried she’d be too cold but that was a wasted worry…she’s happy and settled in with the goats forever. To celebrate this…

Changing Tides
Have you all been caught in high winds, high tides and high emotions? Seems like that’s all we’ve been seeing here in Searsport lately. Steven and I just came back from another walk around the park after last night’s sleet and freezing rain storm. In the two decades we’ve been here, we’ve never had as…

Life in Searsport
Today feels more like a photo day than an essay…here’s what’s been going on in Searsport since last Thursday. We’re getting the Spring itch around here but the only green evidence we’re finding comes from the branches of Forsythia we’re forcing in the kitchen and a few timid sprouts from Steve’s early starts for the…

Another Snow Storm in March
Like anyone else in a mom and pop business, we juggle a lot of balls and are always hoping that we didn’t lose one up in the clouds or under the couch. Last Saturday I was in Augusta to be part of the Fiber College Class Jury…if you’re curious about the September classes proposed, check here. …

Day of Love
Today’s agenda: Blueberry scones, lemon curd and a new blend of dark coffee from Green Tree Roasters in Lincolnville…sitting in a sunny window with a good friend Answer e-mails and return phone calls Worm the goats, trim their hooves and feed them handfuls of sunflower seeds…so they know that they’re loved Walk the beach when…

Pictures of campsites and a desperate plea for a photo filing system!
I’ve been looking for a postcard image since I made coffee two hours ago and still no luck…but as I slog through the pictures, I spend most of my time smiling because of the memories they bring back. Because it’s reservation season and we seem to have more “new” guests than we’ve ever had, I…
