Winter? in Newcastle, Maine

Last week Friday we woke up to a winter wonderland here at Newcastle Inn. During the night it snowed and it was that wonderful, light, fluffy snow with just enough wetness to make it stick to everything. These two pictures don't do justice to the beauty that was there as the sun was starting to rise across the river. Everything was purple-y, blueish with shades of gray and white.
 
The calendar says that it is January, but yesterday it was Spring for one day when the temperature reached 50 degrees here in Newcastle, Maine!! I turned off the heat and opened up the doors of the inn to get some fresh air moving through the place. Today it is sunny and clear once again, not quite as warm, but beautiful. The colder weather returns tomorrow for the rest of the weekend.

The "Hospitality for Habitat" special returns in April. The link will take you to the page with all of the details. Yesterday definitely hinted at Spring, so start making plans to visit MidCoast Maine!

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens Christmas Market

Today it is December 1 and so that means that the Christmas Market at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is just around the corner on Saturday, December 10, 2011. The market features the wonderful work of Maine artisans.  I see that Black Dinah Chocolatier will be back again this year - yum!

The inn is decorated for the holidays and I have plenty of  wrapping paper, bows and tape for you to use and get your purchases wrapped before you even get home.  In addition to the Christmas Market, the shops in Newcastle and Damariscotta are stocked with wonderful one-of-a-kind items just perfect for gift giving.


So, consider a visit to Newcastle Inn, located in beautiful MidCoast Maine, for a little weekend getaway before the holiday craziness really swings into high gear.
