The first touches of spring have arrived. Not only do the flower petals begin to open, but Washington Island begins to re-open with the change of season. Each year at this time, we like to share information about new businesses and events or changes to existing ones. Starting with what’s new, there are new owners at Deer Run Golf Resort. Their plans are to open the Washington Island Biergarten, continue operating the golf course and lodging and make improvements on the property over time. Next to the Albatross Drive-In, in a bright red building, the Island Popcorn Barn will feature gourmet popcorn this summer. At the Death’s Door Fuel gas station on the road leading to and from the ferry […]
From our nest to yours
Our warmest greetings go out to you over the holidays and as winter begins. Whether you are like the winter birds, staying home and finding ways to keep warm or if you have left your nest for a southerly location, we look ahead to the day your wings bring you back to our neck of the woods. Ode to Winter …While a world drifts to sleep Leaves curl and flowers bow Birds take flight to a further place A touch of frost creeps in Stealing the landscape of its colour Soon all shall be held motionless In the still of a winters season Now in all its changing The beauty and perfection of life Is left open to be […]

The blog page layout is still somewhat “under construction”. Other changes will be forthcoming. It’s taken about a week now for the snow to melt from our spring snowstorm. While it was underfoot, it didn’t keep our feathered friends from going about their business and the snow/rain/cold […]
December Views and Sievers News
Only a dusting of snow so far for the Island and it doesn’t look like we’ll see any in the near future. So, for now, we’re enjoying the mostly sunny skies and the views they allow us. Our final enrollment number from 2015 was 370 students, an average of 9+ students per class and 78% of the students enrolled had been here previously. A number of our new students this year came with a friend who had been to Sievers for a previous class. Thanks to all of you who are Sievers ambassadors, in one way or another! You may recall that for many years (34) we have held a biennial Sievers Gathering in even-numbered years, which would mean a […]
