Summer’s in the air
Spring is here, but summer’s in the air! The trees are green and spring flowers are in bloom – everything is at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead of schedule. The sunset’s are amazing, occurring at 9 pm or later, as we whirl our way to June 21, the longest day of the year and the official start of summer.
Did you know that our days here are about 30 minutes longer than in Boston. That’s because The Birches is actually just north of the 45 parallel, which means that we are closer to the north pole than to the equator. The sun is very high in the sky now and the sunrise on Moosehead from The Birches is just amazing. I joke with my flying buddies that there are no rules here north of the 45th and when the day comes that there are rules, we’ll move to the 46th.!
Having lived in Rockwood for 40 years, my observation is that the climate here is similar to Connecticut’s climate 30 years ago. The days are warmer, and the lakes and rovers are warmer too.
If you haven’t made your weekend plans yet, come up an see us, come up and see us! We’re in full operation now. Our dining room and lounge are open and the marina is open daily for the summer season.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend
