Brrrr! Winter

Winter Winds nip at your nose. As you take an early morning stroll along the Marginal Way, the wind blows and rattles the bare branches of a now dormant winter landscape. Sea spray lifts of the curling waves before it comes crashing along the rocky shore. Off in the distance a lone surfer paddles out through the waves as the morning sun brightens the winter day. Seagulls cry and swoop out to sea following a lobster boat heading out of Perkins cove as the sea smoke rises off the bay. It is a quiet, peaceful and truly beautiful time of year in Ogunquit. Last night you took a stroll down shore road after dinner in one Ogunquit wonderful local favorites. Homes and hotels shuttered and dark, closed for the winter season, where here and there stands a cottage tucked back off on a side street with a light coming from within. Oh a lucky resident. You imagined your self shuttered in one of Ogunquit’s beautiful cottages www.ogunquitrentals.com with the golden interior light streaming out onto the snow and wood smoke drifting out of the chimney. The fantasy of you snuggled in for the long winter season. Perhaps writing that novel, or reading your favorite books, hosting great dinner parties or simply enjoying retirement in a beautiful seaside community.

The morning sun is lower in the sky this time of year and as you make your way back to town, lights are on here at the Village Food Market. Commuters scurry in out of the cold to grab a Hot Coffee and Muffin on their way to work. Locals are already chatting away about politics and the day’s agenda over a hot breakfast.
