Spring is in the air!

We have certainly being treated to wonderful weather as we usher in Spring this week. It's hard to believe that winter is now officially behind us and a mild winter it was. A few weeks ago we had a fairly sizable snow storm and today, less then a week later, most snow was gone from the grass and the remaining piles left from the plowing are dwindling fast. I know it's a bit premature to think we're 'out of the woods'. A good part of April can bring snow storms with depths enough to make us cringe and wouldn't you know it, it's snowing today. The good thing is we know it will not last and the crocuses will again peek through the remaining bit of snow reaching skyward towards the sun.
Now is the perfect time to visit the area. Long romantic strolls along the uncrowded beaches, great rates and shops filled with new merchandise. Don't forget the antique shops and our weekend events. The next event will be something for the fudge lovers. It's simply called 'English Fudge Tour and Tastings'. You'll have a chance to visit other inns and collect a different fudge made by Roly's English Fudge, then end up at their shop and receive a half pound of your 'favorite' fudge to take home, complements of your inn keeper. On April 28, join us at The Mast Cove Gallery for 'Jazz at the Mast Cove' while you view the fine art collection at the galleries.

Simple pleasures of dining in Kennebunkport

Sue and I recently attended a Italian Market at Grissini's and I must say we were very delighted with the evening. They had set up the dining room with four or five different stations to represent a market area, complete with straw on the floor to represent a farm stand. Each station had different foods and of course a table featuring Piemonte wines from Italy. You could stroll from one station to another and the servers were very knowledgeable about the foods they were serving. It was a 'roaming feast of fine foods and wine of Italy' that everyone there seemed to thoroughly enjoy. The evening included a choice of two entrees. Sue and I chose to each try a different one in order to sample some of each. Dinner was superb! I would say the evening was well received by all who attended. Whether it's a romantic dinner or one of their wine dinners (usually on Friday nights in the spring), you'll find something for everyone in a relaxed atmosphere!
