OK, it’s snowing, big deal

Of pussywillows and blessed rain

April 3, 2010

It’s raining, thank goodness. In fact, it is pouring down like a sonofagun. Naturally I left some shoes outside, oh-well-oh-well, but at least we’ve staved off the serious threat of wildfires for a bit.

So there I was minding my own business—well, Russ and Donna’s business actually—at the Eastport Market when Chris Corbett came in bearing a brown paper sack. Inside was a bottle of the private label riesling that Black Star Farms is bottling for the Blue Pelican, the restaurant and inn that Chris and his wife Merrie […]
