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!
Early each Autumn the Osprey depart for South America....
The air begins to crisp up in the mornings, the leaves slowly change , the Chesapeake Bay cools down and beneath the surface of this immense body of water that we get to call home....there are hundreds of changes taking place...including the movement of the bluecrabs to deeper water.
"When the Monarchs head south, the bluecrabs move to deeper water." (j.fleming)
OysterFest Saturday October 28th, 10AM-4PM
The Oyster Season begins, the days still feel surpringly warm and hint at the past summer but eventurally the local Watermen change thier gear to thermals and Grundens. The mornings are darker, the sunset comes sooner and then there are white wisps from the woodstove chimneys and Oyster Chowder on every menu. Outdoor dining fire pits , mulled wine and cider, scarves and mittens on the monthly local gallery walks.
Know Good Farm- Local growers of land and sea bounty!
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.
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!
Reserve your get-away at The Lazyjack Inn today!
