Celebrating the snow!
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I visited our poor neglected blog…I’m making a new pledge to give it more attention as life settles into a more “normal” rhythm. What more perfect way than to share a videos of the flawless blanket of snow that covered us over the weekend? It’s 30 seconds…

Surrounded by water
Step out our door, slip in mud. Walk through the garden, sink into the mud. Skip rocks at the beach, drop into the mud. It’s April on the coast and we’re making dents with every step we take. So it seemed like a good day to tell you about three islands you should consider visiting…

Meeting New Friends
Where exactly did October and November go? In my has been filled with washing & dyeing fleece, putting the gardens to rest, weaving a new blanket and trying to adjust to the rhythm of being alone in the park with Steve and the critters…you’d think that would be easy to transition into our winter rhythm …

Picture Perfect
Tidepools, gardens, goats and honeybees…the four words we’ve decided encapsulate our image of Searsport Shores. But in February there should be a 5th word…art. This is the month we figure out the weekly artist in residence program that fills our summer with so much creativity and do a large amount of our planning for Fiber…
