LODGE NEWS:

We are all so happy to have received rain!
The grass, the wildflowers, the birds, dragonflies, waterlilies, and butterflies are happy.
September is a great month to be here.

Let us know if you are thinking of coming for the Holidays.
We do have a wait list now for New Year's Eve lodging, and are half full for dinner reservations. 
Thanksgiving lodging is getting full and dinner is half booked, so don't dawdle.
Christmas is open and always a great time with the luminarias, sitting around the fireplace, and yummy food.

We were visiting with a guest and talking about the Lodge and it dawned on us,
the Lodge will be 100 years old in 2028!
Mark your calendar, we will celebrate a centennial in August of 2028.

This September we are celebrating the absolutely wonderful weather, hiking, and hanging out on the portals with books, cookies, binoculars, and a glass of wine.

GALLERY NEWS:

We are getting ready to install a Michael Metcalf sculpture on the curve of the driveway.
The sculpture will become 2026's addition to the Bear Mountain Lodge Collection.
A great piece for the collection.

BARN NEWS:
Happy cows napping in the field, eating fresh grass, and being bucolic.
It has been the summer of love for the bovines here.

The horses have been out also, but come back to the barn every afternoon for a bit of alfalfa, check on the humans, and to get pets.

MUI REPORT:
The Mui has had a busy Summer overseeing the Lodge activities.
(See picture above).
You can find him most days in his bowl or in a chair by Gabe.
The heavy workload of the Lodge requires heavy napping.

WORD OF THE MONTH:

Pluviophile - a person (or maybe cow) who finds joy and peace of mind during rain.
