Along Came Pretty Little May


Spring has been kind to us on Mount Desert Island! After a long and snowy winter, the tulips and forsythia have blossomed and the trees are beginning to unfurl. The skies, not to be outdone, have been bright and blue. We have welcomed many warm sunny days and a few spring showers -- which have only served to make the trees and grass more green and vibrant. From our deck, Frenchman Bay vacillates between brilliant blue, turquoise, and steel gray, but most often we find it emanates a silver blue shimmer. Nights are crisp, still cool enough to enjoy the warmth of a fire.
