Here at the Inn we have an ongoing tradition of contradances several times during the summer. Local band T-Acadie calls the dance at the Studio Building and all of our guests are all invited to join in! For those of you who have never experienced one of our contradances, or if you have and are feeling nostalgic, we have posted some pictures below. Feel free to share any memories of contradances past in the commments section. Enjoy!
As any gardener knows the appropriate mix of rain, sun, and care can yield beautiful results, and that is exactly what we want to share with you today. Here at the Inn our gardens are in full bloom, and we have a few pictures for those of you who aren't able to share in the experience first hand. Enjoy!
Taking pictures this afternoon it occurred to us that the two included below highlight a couple of our favorite activities here at the Inn. The first is our current Art Workshop teacher, Carl Schmalz, instructing some of his students as they take advantage of the wonderful weather for some outdoor painting. The second picture features another great way of enjoying a sunny day: flying a kite. Many of you will recognize Randy, here teaching his grandson the art of kite flying. We hope you enjoy the photos!
Here's a photographic update on those ducks and ducklings we mentioned a couple of weeks ago. This time we got a little closer! Enjoy!
The beginning of every summer here at Rock Gardens Inn is marked by the return of families of ducks and ducklings, often spotted just off the point. We had our first sighting recently and wanted to share it with all of you! If you are visiting this summer make sure to keep an eye out, as they tend to show up quite often, swimming amongst the buoys. For now, enjoy the pictures!
Between eight and nine o'clock tomorrow morning a full complement of pre-season staff will begin working on the property in earnest. We're excited to make the Inn as comfortable and beautiful as many of you remember. However, before we start the final push towards opening we decided we should take advantage of the gorgeous weather. And what better way then by flying a kite on a warm, sun-drenched day? Below are a few pictures from our adventure, as you can see Lily really got into it!
Spring has finally made it to Rock Gardens Inn! Warmth has returned, plants are starting to bloom, and we have begun our yearly spring cleaning of the property with help from Andrew Rice and Kurt Baker. For those of you who might be interested we have posted a few pics below (including two with Andrew and Kurt). Enjoy!
Happy Saint Patrick's Day from all of us here at Rock Gardens Inn!
Rather than a typical blog entry, today we would like to bring you a photoblog! Posted below are six photos of various parts of Rock Gardens under the cover of snow. Sadly, these pictures are not currently representative of the Inn's grounds, as we have had fairly scant snowfall this year, but they should give an idea of how the Inn looks when the winter weather cooperates. Enjoy!
