New England Weather and the Ocean's Shifting Mood


What a peaceful and warm summer afternoon it was at the Seaward Inn! Guests strolling by were enjoying the sailboat  races while others were getting into their kayaks ready to paddle off shore.

As the sun began to set, however, the wind shifted; temperature dropped dramatically leaving a cold chill in the air. This is not unusual given that Seaward Inn is directly on the ocean. It is on the cutting edge of the weather.

"Better put on a sweater as it's gotten quite chilly out there" said Suzanne, our housekeeper, as I was leaving work for the day.

As I was getting into my car I saw an elderly couple, guests of  the Inn, struggling with a large blanket. I waited to see what they were up to and make sure they were O.K. They proceeded over to the oceanfront landing across the street. Further struggle with the blanket ensued as they sat on one of our benches wrapping the blanket completely around them, cocoon style, leaving only their faces to the open air. What a picture!

Despite the weather, or perhaps, because of it, they lovingly wanted to savor their time together, enjoying every minute of the ocean 's shifting moods.

MEMORIES!  If I only had a camera with me! It was a beautiful and touching sight.

Blueberrying on Cape Ann - a Recipe from the Cook's Book

Jean, our front desk receptionist, who has been with the Seaward Inn for many, many years, tells the story of a special guest named Mary. Mary loved the Seaward Inn and would always stay for about ( 2 ) weeks. She returned year after year, only varying this routine when original owners, Mr and Mrs Cameron, retired.
Mary was well known to the other guests, Seaward Staff, neighbors and Cameron family because her favorite pastime was to go blueberrying. 

Every morning she could be seen with her tin can scouring the bushes for blueberries behind Gullsnest, in the sancturay and neighboring Cameron Cottages. Later, she would bring them to the kitchen where Mrs. Cameron made them into Blueberry muffins.

Every year, Mary would vacation alone but it wasn't long before she was part of the Seaward Inn family. Mary stayed in Gulls Nest and had her own (reserved ) table in the right hand corner of the brick dining room.

Occasionally, we are asked if the blueberries come from the grounds of the Inn by some of our old time guests. In season, they often do. If we had more "Mary's" they always would and recall those little things in life that make a difference!

A visit to the Inn is after all, more like an experience, where you step back in time and recall those little things in life that make a difference!

Blueberry muffins

CREAM:
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar

ADD: 
2 eggs -Beat until creamy

SIFT TOGETHER AND ADD:
2 cups sifted flour - reserve 1/4 cup flour. 
Sprinkle over 1 1/2 cups blueberries. 
Stir into batter last.
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

ADD:
1 cup milk -Stir only to dampen flour. Do not over beat. Fill greased and floured muffin tins two-thirds full. Preheat oven and bake at 400 degrees F or 205 C for 15 to 20 minutes.

*A good muffin batter will look lumpy. Most muffin recipes will make a dozen muffins depending on the size of muffin tin
