Alice's Reflections on the Summer

Today is the end of our 13th summer as innkeepers at the Inn at Stockbridge. This has been a wonderful summer , however I am glad it is over. We need a rest. Len has been wonderful, he is totally devoted to the Inn. he spends every waking moment either at the inn or thinking about it. He really needs a rest. We are off to Cape Cod tomorrow for a three day vacation, a busmans holiday. Rest and relaxation for the innkeepers.
One of our guests, who are frequent guests visited us again this weekend. Kent McKamy just returned from a three month trip around the United States and out west towards Washington State. He shared his trip and photos in his blog

It is wonderful to have guests like Linda & Kent to share life events.
We have our annual end of the summer picnic today in otis. it will be great to spend the day with our local friends and unwind while feasting our eyes on the Otis Resovoir.
The Berkshires are beautiful and perhaps after Labor day weekend it is the most beautiful as the evenings get cooler to prepare for the fall and the spectacular changing of the leaves
