June is the best month
of the year for me. There’s that special
early-evening glow on my back deck about 6 pm when the hummingbirds are dining at my feeder
and I’m settling in with my favorite summer cocktail. I just heard that Killington was open for 199
days this winter! WOW! But some of us don’t ski and have to play
indoor tennis all winter – so we deserve those 30 days in June when everything
in the gardens looks perfect (no weeds yet), the days are getting
longer and warmer, and everything is open for the season in Manchester and the
Mountains (except Killington, of course!) and tennis is OUTSIDE!!
What’s happening here
in Dorset in June? The restaurants are humming, the golfers are golfing, the
hikers are hiking and the Dorset Theatre Festival opens for the season. There’s the Antique Car Show in Manchester
June 7th and 8th, our two favorite nurseries (Mettowee
Mill and Equinox Valley Nursery) are in full bloom, the Quarry and our state
parks are open for swimming and sunning, and the farmers’ markets abound. It’s the perfect month and I know that the
whole summer stretches out before me!
So come and enjoy your
favorite summer cocktail on the porch of The Dorset Inn or on the patio at
Barrows House – Paddy, Colleen & Yuri will be happy to make you one of
their specialties, too.
Cheers -- And I’ll see
you on the tennis courts!
