Lakes Region Life Rhythms

There's a certain seasonal rhythm to life in the Lakes Region.
Yes, it exists everywhere to some extent. But it's different when you live in a place like this.
In most places, it goes something like this. Fall: new school and new starts. Winter: Christmas season, then snow. Spring: flowers, ball games, golf and gardening. Summer: long, warm days, comfortable nights - time to slow down and enjoy things around you.
But in a semi-resort community like the Lakes Region, it's slightly different.
Fall is slowdown, when the number of "summer people" drop and people can catch up with one another.
Winter is Christmas and New Years and skiing - but it can also be tough. It's fun and beautiful but no one makes money without the "summer people", right?
Spring is exciting: This is when we see new projects unveiled, when fresh ideas surface, when news about what's going on on Main Street becomes exciting to everyone.
Summer is wonderful. It's work and it's busy. There's boats to deliver, meals to serve, "summer people" who need attention... It's profitable, and it's not punishing - and there are still warn nights, new movies, etc., for us as well. But it is different than what most people experience.
Not "worse" - although at times we wish we OWNED the boat, instead of washing it off - but different.
Still, there are times - especially in the Spring and the Summer, between the plans and the projects - when you're caught unexpectedly by the most wonderful reasons to be here.
This cell phone picture doesn't do it justice. (I gotta get me a 'real' camera to keep this blog going.)
This explosion of color and life is in Laconia. It's from Stewart Park, near the intersection of Rte. 3/Union Avenue and Main Street, looking down toward the Belknap Mill.
In the foreground, a glorious patch of flowers. Behind (barely visible here) is the old mill waterfall and nearby, folks are fishing in the Winnipesaukee River.
So the rhythms are different here. But no one is complaining.
