stone barns

yesterday was a beautiful, warm (72 degrees!) sunny day.
gretta and i wandered around 
gathering inspiration and ideas.
this is an entrance to 
blue hill at stone barns,
the very posh and famous restaurant,
where all the food that is served comes form
 the gardens and fields at stone barns.
maybe someday if we win the lottery, we'll check it out. :-)
we found this little still life on a bench in the cook's garden.
lovely and vintage and better than new.
22,000 square feet...a full half acre greenhouse!
a sign reads,
"every inch of space, every seedling, every clump of soil
is intensely managed here 365 days a year".
poc choy and chard
not sure what this is, but it's gorgeous.
one of the working dogs.
a sweetheart of a pooch.

the place was crawling with young families,
with children who were delighted to be out in the sunshine,
running, climbing, squealing.
i think we were all taking in the wonder of the day,
and the beauty of the place.
hope springs eternal.

and today deserves some Keats.

  1. I am dying to visit this place!!!!! I've heard such great things about what they do. Hopefully, their self-sustaining model will one day be adopted across the country.
