Prettiest Spring Ever in Blue Hill

So I write that it's the prettiest spring ever but I must confess my Aunt Jane has influenced me. She is one, each year at Thanksgiving, to proclaim it has been the best Thanksgiving ever. And every year, it's true.

The Blue Hill Farmer's Market
is my Saturday routine. This morning, I grabbed my friend Nick on the way (he and his family are selling these amazing condos on Greene's Hill here in town. The prices start at an unbelievable $199,999). We grazed our way through the market--a fried egg sandwich from Lucy of Lucy's Granola (she makes them with sausage from one vendor at the market, eggs from another, greens from another), pastries and coffee from Millbrook Bakery (blueberry scones, mmmmmmm), samples of caramels from Bagaduce Farms, El El Frijoles salsa... I of course also shop--this week I came away with one of Chris Leigh's silk scarves!










Wait til you see it--amazing shades of greens and blues, a few subtle polka dots. She makes all sorts and colors. We had a lot of fun watching Amara eat a double chocolate chunk black raspberry ice cream sandwich from Millbrook. I love running into people I don't often see, including an old friend from Western Massachusetts (hi, Jill!) who was visiting her brother Eric who is married to Molly Blake who is my graphic designer (she rocks!). Eric meanwhile works with my friend Bob at the Brooklin Boat Yard. One of the joys of living in a small town is playing the connection game! I recently took some friends to Acadia and up Cadillac Mountain. You've heard me say Maine looks good, even in gray. Here are the pictures to prove it! One of the highlights of the trip was running into guests Ann and Kathryn from Virginia and Missouri at the top.

I hope your June is as beautiful and yummy. If not, come see us!
