It’s almost May and I know I am not alone in my anticipation of the opening days of our seasonal farmers markets. Whether your favorite is as big as the Portland Market in Deering Oaks, or as small as the market at Pumpkin Vine Family Farm, they all have the common thread of being community hubs, spaces to bump into friends, and joyful places to access food.
Thrifty Good Food Savory Family Dinners

Characters of the County: Unearthing the Past with Tim Dinsmore

Characters of the County: Liz Proffetty’s Career in Clay
Newcastle potter and teacher Liz Proffetty knows that a lump of fresh clay is potential made manifest. In creative hands, it can become anything from a practical object to a work of art or a combination of the two.
Westport Island
Timber doodle. Bog sucker. Mud bat. I prefer Timber doodle. The “boring” name is American woodcock. A bird. An islander found her nest of four eggs and took a picture. Textbook pictures confirmed an evolving consensus that the mystery eggs belonged to a momma timber doodle. And as I was sitting on the deck playing her mating song from a Maine Audubon recording, I heard the melody answered from somewhere in the trees above. I think. “Peent” is how the birders spell the song and it sounds just like it sounds.
Henry, A Dogs Life in Maine
As of this day, April 15, we have had The Brodster two years. It is hard to imagine how fast this time has flown by. Two years ago, this tornado of a dog came into our lives. I recall when he saw my “hooman” sister’s cat Nathan Jr. If you have ever seen National Lampoon’s “Christmas Vacation;” the scene where the Rottweiler Snots chases the squirrel throughout the house, across the dining room table. That was us!

Round Pond
If you are coming down Route 32 from Bremen to Round Pond there is a bridge on the town line called The Kitty Breskin. For the life of me I had never heard that name before, of course thinking that it is a memorial bridge and related to someone in the area. I have been asking people around town about it and typically the answer is that they have wondered the same thing as well. I finally had the sense to Google it and found out that she is a woman who lives in Boothbay who was integral in the design and construction of the bridge. Mystery solved.
Characters of the County: Stu Mahan Is In Demand And Loving It
