Day's Dawning Cold and Bright

Welcome weary traveler- I know not how you reached us here at the official blog of the Fisherman's Wharf Inn- but I invite you to come inside, pull of a chair, and make yourself at home. You know us here at the Wharf want to make you comfortable. Have some good food to fill you belly, a fine wine to ease the chill, maybe even a slice of blueberry pie to complete your Maine experience. He we are, creeping up to the doorstep of Februrary. Our days are getting longer, but all that really means is that we have more time outside in the bitter freezing cold. And yes, today is quite cold here on the doorstep of the shortest month- a chill wind in the teeth and uncertain footing beneath- and yet just twenty-eight days later, we will be in March, when it seems we can again begin to dream about green, growing things and the joys of Spring. And though it may seem to invite Old Man Winter to turn his cold eye on us- we should think of Spring, and then Summer afterward. For it is in the hope of Spring and the warmth of Summer that we find the strength to plow, head down, through the bitter cold and biting snows of winter. We will re-open on May 21st, and we invite you to join us as Boothbay Harbor once again shakes itself out of hibernation, and flexes its fingers toward the warming sun.
