Back by popular demand!
Wow, this summer of glorious weather and fine times is speeding by. Took a moment yesterday to say hello to Gail, and to think again about our favorite spots at Migis Lodge!

The longest day, and lovelier by the minute
Almost twelve hours since the solstice came and went. Suddenly, summer is upon us. Sailboats, sauvignon blanc, salads, sunscreen, skis, strawberry shortcake, sandals, sushi, swimsuits, sauna, sunsets, stars and stripes, s’mores—————sultry afternoons suitable for siestas. Sebago!

So long!

June is entering like a lamb
A quiet day here after a busy weekend! The Barn at Cry of the Loon opened for the season with lots of interesting new merchandise. Our brother chef Bryan up at the Inn at Ocean’s Edge http://www.diningattheedge.com/ shared a recipe on New England Cable Television yesterday. We said goodbye to Anna and Owen after their beautiful Memorial Day weekend wedding (I particularly liked their place cards, made up on a typewriter–we all have our favorite details!). The guy from the fireworks company stopped by to confirm our show right here at the main dock July 3. What else? A light rain is falling on our thirsty plant life, and Willow is out tending to the gardens. A new finish is being applied to the dining room floor. Robyn is updating her next couple of wedding folders, and Sarah is fielding reservation phone calls. Jeanie is choosing a new carpet for the wellness center waiting area–and I think I’ll run down to Lake House and take a few pictures. Care to come along?
Still some nice openings; give us a call! 207-655-4524

Whew!
It is such a fun time of year! After all the meetings and planning sessions and lists and anticipation we are watching Robyn’s work come to fruition! Wedding time; we have already had the pleasure of witnessing Alicia and Ryan, Miguel and Lindsay, as well as Alison and Jason start their married lives here on the shores of Sebago Lake. A lot of staff, returning and new, have arrived and unpacked their bags and been put right to work. The kitchen is turning out beautiful meals, as satisfying to look at as they are to eat. Flowers are blooming, the housekeeping staff has polished away all vestiges of winter—we are ready and up and running!
Good thing Scott has been handy with his iPhone for a few pictures; others, so far, are being enjoyed by their subjects. Send some along to migismary@live.com if you’d like to share!
Still some choice openings available for the season. Give Robyn or Scott a call at 207-655-4524 to inquire about reservations. And have a look at our new website; we’re not remodeling buildings only this year!

So much to enjoy and learn on Earth Day
It does look something like an incipient lady slipper, but I don’t quite think it is. Described as rare, and vulnerable. Soon I will know! And, is this a young white pine reaching for the sky? On the way in to work this morning, I pulled over to admire first fiddleheads of the year.
Spring bRakers are working hard, today making their way up the road towards the Cry of the Loon. 59 and quite sunny; a good day to be outdoors. And inside, the gold leaf paint came out for a little retouching on the Old Masterpiece of Route 302. I think I’ll take another little foot tour and see what’s going on on the paths winding through Migis.
Have you had a look at 2010’s Spring Tonic? viewable at http://migis.com/efamily; just click on that cute little envelope! Or if you’d like a paper copy, give us a call at 207-655-4524 and we’ll get one right out to you.

Many signs of spring…
…but none quite so gloriously testifying to the turning season than the arrival of our aptly named Willow! She’s busy turning that earth and planting and refreshing and just making us know that the new season is here. Meanwhile, job applicants roll in and out, wellness center rehab nears completion, Chef John and Charity and Belinda are venturing into the kitchen and putting on their aprons…won’t be long now!
Now, give a little listen.

You folks from away
might not fully realize what it means to see our thermometer at this level on April 2! To be able to walk about in a t-shirt enjoying the sounds and sights of spring is such a pleasure. This is a day full of new life, new projects, new staff interviews, and familiar faces appearing to see, well, what’s new! Have you met Eldren? I interrupted him having his lunch in his truck—————he’s busy turning on the water all over the property, as he has for 26 years now. He must have been in junior high school when he started!
Earlier today, the bearded one and myself took an eight mile walk to benefit the Casco and Raymond food pantries. Perfect day for it.
Robyn is hearing more and more from the spring bridal parties; only a month until the first. She is still ready to take your 2010 reservation calls as well!

Not exactly Noah’s ark…
…but if it were it would come in handy today. The wind is howling out there, and the rain just keeps on coming! Here, a few days ago, is our neighbor further west along 302, in Naples. The Songo River Queen has been stylishly (basic black) wrapped for the winter and will emerge soon for another season of meandering up and down Long Lake. We do have plenty to do (or not do as may be your preference) here at the Lodge, but now and then it’s pleasant to get out and see what else the Lakes Region has to offer!

Scott’s away this week, but Robyn will be happy to answer your reservation inquiries at 207-655-4524 or migis@migis.com. And we are going to assume that this spring rain will make for a lush, flowery and green early summer!
