Finally! The sun is shining and the Leelanau Peninsula is drying out after a week of rain--some of it quite heavy. Our perennials at home (especially the irises and peonies) took a beating, but the tomato plants are fine and are loaded with flowers. It won't be long before we'll have Black Pearls, Moskovich and Honey Bunch on the table.
The Hearth & Vine is hopping today and last night, we had a wedding rehearsal dinner that kept the crew busy. Cheers and good luck to the couple tying the proverbial knot on Sunday! This morning, we stocked the goodie table with delicious date-nut cookies, lemon bars and citrus-almond biscotti--all made from scratch and all a perfect treat after lunch or with a cup of coffee.
If you are looking for something to do this weekend, stop by Black Star Farms. In addition to a memorable lunch or dinner at the H&V, you can do a little wine-tasting at the winery, grab some raclette from award-winning Leelanau Cheese Co., or say hello to the sheep (who were recently sheered and look a little silly) and other critters who make us all smile and keep it real.
