Opening week in our restaurant

I must, each spring, tell you how beautiful it is in Blue Hill--though perhaps I tell you each season. May means that the lilacs right outside the kitchen window are blooming. We can watch the green tree leaves change by the day--the shades deepening and leaves unfurling.

I am so excited to have Chef Devin back in the kitchen--the opening menu sounds delicious, doesn't it?

Plus this year we will be holding family-style suppers in our garden once a month on a Saturday night. Stay tuned for more information about that.

We haven't updated the photos on the website in a while. Sometimes guests really have a lot of questions about a room so I'll snap a couple of pictures to show them a detail. This is room 4 and a picture of a chair we had reupholstered this year. Yummy.

Speaking of yummy, the eggs are from Four Season Farm. The morning light on all the colors was too much to resist.

If your life isn't this beautiful, come see us. (Did you catch Garrison Keillor's quote about being carried away by a particular place in America? His answer: "Well, the Grand Canyon, of course, and the coastline of Maine...")
