SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF NEW YEARS EVE IN ROCKPORT, MA

We had a wonderful New Years Eve Celebration this year here at the Linden Tree Inn. John and I went down to enjoy the New Years Rockport Eve celebration, and we saw some great musicians and singers. I happened to have my camera along and took many pictures and video snippets of the action. I put them all together in a video, so everyone could enjoy a slice of our New Years Eve! We had a full house, and were lucky to have our Stambandet friends staying with us. Stambandet comes to the Linden Tree Inn twice a year to retreat and rehearse, and they graciously serenaded our guests with a song after having performed twice at Rockport New Years Eve!! Thank you so much Stambandet, we love having you here! You fill up the house with wonderful music and joy!

SEPTEMBER IS FOR SAILING!! CHECK OUT OUR STAY AND SAIL PACKAGES!

I love going sailing in the fall! The crisp feel in the air, the fair winds, sometimes you even catch a bit of color in the leaves turning as you sail out of Rockport Harbor and past the lighthouses. We have joined with Sailor Dog Charters to offer you sailing packages. Stay overnight at at the Linden Tree Inn, arise to warm scones and a hearty breakfast, then go sailing with Captain Glenn on his 30 foot Nonsuch sloop Wave Dancer! We can pack you snacks or a light lunch or dinner.....sunset is particularly gorgeous, the light is so amazing.....nothing compares to a lovely afternoon on the water and sailing home at sunset. You choose the time of day and how long you would like to be sailing. A private sail with Captain Glenn is a wonderful way to reconnect with your special someone, best friends or special activity to make memories with your family. Wave Dancer can accommodate up to six passengers, and will be taking guests until mid-October, weather permitting of course!!!

Check out these scrapbook pages I made with pictures I took when my dear friend Terri and I took a sunset sail a couple weeks ago......what a fabulous time we had, no phone, no interruptions, just time to chat and enjoy the scenery, have some yummy snacks and revel in the glory of the sunset! Thank you Captain Glenn for a fabulous sail!!

SAILING HOME AT SUNSET!

SPRING AT THE LINDEN TREE

The flowers are budding in the garden, and soon there will be a profusion of peonies and roses.....these are a few pictures I took in the garden the last day of May.

ROCKPORT IN THE SNOW

We have had record amounts of snow this year in Rockport!! It really is peaceful here after a snow fall and I thought you might like to see the beauty of the snow. It is even more wonderful when you don't how to go out in the cold to see it!
