There’s a certain point in winter when your thoughts start drifting ahead.
Ahead to warmer mornings. To open windows. To days shaped by tides instead of schedules. That’s when the countdown begins—whether you realize it or not.
On the Maine coast, winter has a way of making summer feel especially precious.
Winter’s Gentle Reminder
Winter strips things back. It simplifies.
The beaches are empty. The towns are quieter. Life feels less rushed. And in that simplicity, you start to remember what you miss—and what you’re most excited to return to.
The sound of waves under warm sun. The feel of sand between your toes. Long dinners that stretch into sunset. Ice cream runs. Barefoot walks home.
These aren’t just summer activities—they’re summer feelings.
The Beauty of Anticipation
There’s joy in looking forward.
Planning a summer trip. Imagining where you’ll stay. Thinking about who you’ll bring with you. Anticipation has a way of carrying us through the colder months, giving us something bright to hold onto.
Winter becomes less about waiting and more about preparing—mentally, emotionally, even quietly joyfully.
The Coast Is Still Here
Even now, beneath the frost and gray skies, the coast hasn’t gone anywhere.
The ocean keeps moving. The sun still rises. The seasons are simply doing what they’ve always done—cycling, shifting, making room for what’s next.
And summer? Summer is already on its way.
The Countdown Continues
So we count down—not with impatience, but with appreciation.
Because winter gives us rest.
Spring brings renewal.
And summer arrives right on time, full of warmth, light, and everything we’ve been dreaming about.
The Maine coast will be ready.
And when summer comes, it will feel just as magical as you imagined.
