Pondering over coffee this morning, watching the mist hover over the harbor, the stirrings of the community after our biggest 'shin-dig', Tilghman Island Day, where it is possible that folks had a bit too much fine fare and drink..but never too much laughter and good times!</div>

And then comes the bounty of the next season.</span><br />

Sometimes life throws change at us like a fast pitch. We don't have the luxury of gradual adaptation , there is no time to gracefully transition. For those of us lucky enough to live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Mother Nature affords us with that luxury at the change of each season....and it's good to be reminded of that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We invite you to come on over....take in the sights, meander the crisp paths of local conservation spots, indulge in the bounty of the Chesapeake Harvest, meet the growers and the catchers....throw a little 'slow' into your seasonal shift! </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">It's all about the people....have no doubts about this.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Starting the Lazyjack Inn 26 years ago was a 'second go-round' from a career standpoint. Truth be told, it just was one of those things that manifested...Mike 'retired' from the Architectural and Home building industry, we did the dance of huge life transition . We shifted to the Eastern Shore, a place that we had great love for after years of sailing the Chesapeake. We were just going to sail for a year...or more and then a good friend said "open a B&B, you're perfect for it"</span></span><br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AW7CRiLjX6c/WUZxuz8o0HI/AAAAAAAABM0/ZXiurnmxCichLPM9uGwDZAGJXKK_hAuqgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_5953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AW7CRiLjX6c/WUZxuz8o0HI/AAAAAAAABM0/ZXiurnmxCichLPM9uGwDZAGJXKK_hAuqgCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_5953.JPG" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Thus began our time on Tilghman Island, a place like many other small villages, that is really all about the people. As we 'grew' the Lazyjack Inn (literally, starting with two guest rooms) we quickly realized that our connection to the guests, the opportunity to get these short 2 or 3 days glimpses into the lives of others was the key to it all....a gift.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">What happens when the guests leave us? Have they exchanged numbers? Will they reconnect? Become friends? Will they talk about each other in the car on the way home...but never see each other again?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">So I suppose that this Blog entry is really a little selfish, a conversation with ourselves, a reminder that we are sharing with you....it really is our connection with people that is our purpose here...not just 'here' as in Tilghman Island, but 'HERE' in this world. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">It's too terribly easy to get caught up in the hustle, to run through our daily tasks by rote, to miss those moments with the people around us.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">So this Father's Day we say Thank you ...to the hundreds of folks who have stayed here and given us that gift of human connection...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">For those traveling by boat Talbot County is known for some of the best 'stop-overs' on The Chesapeake. Back in the day, when our kids were small and we loaded up to sail every weekend, Tilghman Island, Knapps Narrows, St Michael's (for a grocery run!) and Oxford were all well known haunts for us. Some great memories!</span><br /><span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last night was a big one for our local high school students, the Senior Prom. A fairly significant event for most High School seniors, the beginning of their final weeks of classes, exams and preparation for graduation ceremonies. For those of us whose High School Days are a long ago memory, there is still significance in these spring 'rites of passage'. Yet another harbinger of the change of seasons and the promise of what is to come here on the shore as we move towards the summer season.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: small;">This past week also marked the official close of The Oyster Harvest for the year.....the local watermen have already been working diligently to get the work boats ready for the spring crabbing season. Restaurants that took a break for winter repairs (and much needed holiday by their staff!) are preparing to re-open. </span></span><br />

<br />
Mother Nature has had us up and down and all sideways and twisty for the past few months. Not certain that we could really call it a 'winter' here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland...it was almost winter a few times.<br />
<br />
But now.....on this morning it really, finally feels like SPRING!<br />
<br />
Glorious sunshine, window open weather!<br />
<br />
Boats on Trailers, kayaks and Paddle boards on roof racks....outdoor cafes setting up all of the tables.<br />
<br />
Don't misunderstand...we appreciate the little bit of downtime that comes with the off season but THIS is what we wait every year from the time that it all slows down!<br />
<br />
It's going to be a fantastic year at the Inn! Come and join us! <br />
<br />

The winter pruning is complete and there is about a days work of chipping and shredding to add to the compost piles. Carol and I are excited about another year of meeting new guests and welcoming returning friends at the Lazyjack. <br />
<br />
The TWM's annual Spring event Splendor in the Glass is scheduled for April 13th and is looking to be as exciting as ever. The release of the Growing Up on Tilghman cd sequal is scheduled for early Spring also.<br />

In large bowl or platic container, mix yeast and salt into 3 cups lukewarm water(about 100 degrees). Stir in flour, mising until there are no dry patches. Dough will be quite loose(<em>almost like a batter bread</em>). cover, but not with an airtight lid. Let dough rise at room tempertaure for 2 hours (<em>2 hours seems to be just about right...any longer than 3 brings on falling</em>).</div><div></div><div>2. At this point you can shape your bread and bake OR refrigerate, covred, for as long as two weeks.</div><div></div><div>3. When ready to bake, sprinkle a <strong>little </strong>flour on the dough and cut off a grapefruit-size piece with a serrated knife. Turn dough in hands to lightly stretch surface, creating a rounded top and lumpy bottom. Put dough on pizza peel sprinkled with corn meal (<em>any wooden cutting board or the bottom of a cast iron skillet will work fine</em>). Let dough rest here for 40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.</div><div></div><div>4.Place broiler pan in bottom of oven to warm (<em>this will be filled with water when bread goes into oven</em>). Place your baking stone (<em>pizza stone or heavy cookie sheet</em>)on middle rack and turnover to 450 degrees; heat stone at that temp. for 20 minutes.</div><div></div><div>5. When bread has risen dust with flour, slash top with serrated or very sharp knife three times. Carefully slide onto heated stone ( <em>this move is why the dusting of cornmeal is so important in step three!</em>). Pour one cup of water into broiler pan and shut overn quickly to trap steam. (<em>the steam is what will give you your fantastic crusty bread!</em>) Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We hope that you have fun with this one!</div><div></div><div>Carol</div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">Taken from The New York Times November 21, 2007</span></div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">(adapted from 'artisan bread in five minutes a day" by jeff hertzberg and Zoe Francois (Thomas Dunne Books , 2007)</span></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>Lazyjack Inn Bed & Breakfasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07297368569623998707noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683444529138462963.post-53580722863231099742009-01-24T11:55:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:58:13.140-08:00Gift Certificates at fantastic rates for Winter Escapes<span style="font-size:130%;">Consider a gift certificate for a Winter Getaway to Marylands Eastern Shore</span>. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SX85NfxZd_I/AAAAAAAAAIc/VGRlY5tUWuY/s1600-h/Christmas++inn+web+pics+208.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296014590840764402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SX85NfxZd_I/AAAAAAAAAIc/VGRlY5tUWuY/s400/Christmas++inn+web+pics+208.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />With choices of rooms and suites and length of stay you can customize your Gift to best suit your needs...make your next birthday, anniversary or the upcoming valentines celebration one to remember.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For a limited time we are pleased to offer Lazyjack Inn on Dogwood Harbor gift certificates at our special winter rates.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296011622220025026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SX82gszDzMI/AAAAAAAAAIU/XjYajw1Qv34/s400/IMG_0828.jpg" border="0" /><br />Gift Certificates are custom made for each client and can be sent by post or emailed for faster service.

style="color:#6633ff;">The small town America feel of Tilghman Island is at it's best just now. The workboats leave the docks before the sunrise...the local watermen in and out of the dock unloading fish brought in from the pound nets, crabbers with bushel baskets full of the Bays treasure and results of thier own intense efforts. </span><span style="color:#6633ff;">The sound of our well known drawbridge being raised for the boats..some work boats, some charter fishing boats and multitudes of pleasure craft on summer holiday.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">Beautiful bright sunrises over Dogwood Harbor,<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SH9xnW0RirI/AAAAAAAAAEg/3zeGoJX9z9Q/s1600-h/xxx+sunset+over+western+shore+IMG_0085.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224019013726735026" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SH9xnW0RirI/AAAAAAAAAEg/3zeGoJX9z9Q/s200/xxx+sunset+over+western+shore+IMG_0085.jpg" border="0" /></a> warm sunny days and breezes off of the Choptank River, cool evenings sometimes with amazing cloud formations, those quick summer thunderstorms and sunsets like you only see over our Bay.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">We are well into the middle of the season now and the fairly regular evening rain storms seem to be keeping our typical summer droughts at a distance. </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">Farmers market is jumping with fresh produce in abundance, the tomatoes are here as are the summer squash and yes, PEACHES!! There is something really terrific about following the path of our seasonal fruits and veggies...late spring brought us the fantastic combination of fresh rhubarb and strawberries for pies and crisps. The spring asparagus this year was spectacular...and now we are being gifted with the local peaches and blueberries....<br /><br />This means the unbelievable peach cobblers and our famous over-stuffed french toast...with peaches of course...are now at the breakfast table!</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#6633ff;">Come and

women go to reconnect.....<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">The Eastern Shore of Maryland, Tilghman Island, The Lazyjack Inn...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">We have been so pleased over the past year to host several groups of women who just decided that it was time to take a break from the hectic schedule of their lives and take some time to 'catch up' with each other.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">Life just seems to happen around us sometimes ....it flys by and before we know it weeks and months have passed and we haven't taken the time to really sit down and talk and laugh and really listen to our friends.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">Watching these women sit our breakfast table and unwind has been a real treat for us...and a reminder to us as well that our time with friends is really a treasure and should be made a higher priority in our lives.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">We have been able to act as a 'base camp' for women visiting the area to take in the arts, artist workshops, yoga and meditation retreats...and just plain down time.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">We are happy to arrange a special weekend package for you and your 'girlfriends' ...or to just provide the space for you to do nothing at all for the entire stay!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">If you would like to reserve space at the Inn for a 'girls getaway' please be sure to ask about our special rates for booking two or more rooms for your visit.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">Looking forward to your stay with us,</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">Carol</span>Lazyjack Inn Bed &

Green at The Lazyjack Inn...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#006600;">We are so glad that you have chosen to stay with us here at The Lazyjack Inn and would like to share some of our efforts to remain aware of our impact on the world around us.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">Since the time that our first grandchild was born (9 years ago!) we have become steadily more aware of the impact that our daily choices have not only on us but on the world around us...this is an ongoing growth process for us which we find at times a bit daunting but mostly inspiring.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">As always, it is our personal exchange with our guests that really make this lifestyle so rewarding. Over the past few years we have had the amazing opportunity to exchange information with so many of our guests who are experiencing similar growth and awareness in their own lives. So many of our guests have shared fantastic ideas and experiences with us.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">While some of our efforts seem so simple and 'small' we truly believe that each one of them does make a difference.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">Here is a summary of our 'Green Leanings' :</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*Regional clean foods</strong>- We are proud to call ourselves <strong>'Locavores under construction'</strong>! The difference in quality and flavor in these foods is just incredible! We do our very best to purchase as much of our food as possible from regional growers. This includes produce from local farms and farmers markets and locally raised dairy, eggs and meats. We firmly stand behind our belief in small family farms. When ever possible we purchase organically grown foods and pasture raised meats. While we have not arrived at 100% on this we are doing our best to move in that direction.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*Organic Fair Trade Coffee</strong>- We are happy to support our local 'barista' 'Rise Up Coffee' by offering our guests a custom made organic fair trade coffee blend at breakfast each morning. This coffee is also available for purchase by the pound. <a href="http://www.riseupcoffee.com/">http://www.riseupcoffee.com/</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*All natural cleaning products-</strong> We have eliminated the use of all chemical cleaning products for the Inn. With an increase in the level of sensitivity to these harsh products by so many of our guests (ourselves included) and our proximity to 'Our Bay' this seemed an obvious choice for us. We are just so happy with the change. The essential oils in our new custom made cleaning products are just fantastic!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*Water conservation- </strong>During your stay with us you will have the option to reuse your bath linens rather than having them changed each morning and evening. Our guests over the past few months have responded to this with great enthusiasm and we are so happy that this simple option is making such a difference in our consumption!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*Recycling</strong>- We now recycle all of our non-compost waste. Newspapers, magazines & office waste, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals. As there is no recycling on the Island we take all of our recycling to local drop off in the town of St. Michaels. If you set these items aside in your room we are happy to collect them when we do housekeeping each day.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*Compost</strong>-All kitchen waste and materials from the maintenance of our gardens is composted here at the Inn and used in our gardens.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"><strong>*All natural bath soaps- </strong>This is our latest addition to our green leanings and we are so excited about it! Two months ago we had some terrific guests stay with us who own and operate a small handmade soap business. We fell in love with their product and their philosophy. We have just placed our first order with them and will soon be sharing these regionally produced chemical free soaps with our guests. Full bars will also be available for purchase during your stay. <a href="http://www.parsonagesoaps.com/">http://www.parsonagesoaps.com/</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">We are happy to get your feedback and suggestions for additional ways that we can expand our offerings.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">It is our hope that our efforts to be conscious of our footprint will enhance your stay with us here at The Lazyjack Inn.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#006600;">Carol</span>Lazyjack Inn Bed & Breakfasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07297368569623998707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7683444529138462963.post-20040793533307552742008-04-25T10:35:00.000-07:002008-04-25T11:04:56.737-07:00The Boat Season gets underway!!!<div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SBIastlecJI/AAAAAAAAAAc/KjORbLyjSDo/s1600-h/CIMG0035.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193242675764949138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h9lPGMdfLh4/SBIastlecJI/AAAAAAAAAAc/KjORbLyjSDo/s320/CIMG0035.JPG" border="0" /></a> SHARPS ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;">Another monument of spring for us here at The Lazyjack is the launching of the boats and the beginning of the sailing and lighthouse tour season.</span></div><p><span style="color:#006600;"></span> </p><p align="center"><span style="color:#006600;">Join Mike as he trades in his Innkeepers hat for that of Captain aboard the Motor Vessel Sharps Island.
