Shuckers Restuarant
Date night out! We headed down to Woods Hole for the 20th anniversary of the Woods Hole Film Festival and stopped off at Shuckers for a meal of Sea Food Chowda, Crab Cakes, etc. Started off eating on the barge but seeing as I get seasick (apparently with even the slightest motion) Kevin suggested we head into the stationary porch overlooking the barge. (Smart move ) After dinner we headed over to Jimmy’s for some great frozen yogurt – black raspberry with chocolate chips. Then on to see the Woods Hole Film Festival Short Film collage which included:
What fun to go and see the short film that Don Marcus shot just over a year ago in Falmouth. The scenery is gorgeous, the music is beautiful and actors Robert Vaughn and Melissa Errico did a magnificent job leaving all of us in the audience wanting more of the story!!

Clearing the Back Yard
May 1st, 2010 by trobinson
The brush and vines that need to be cleared away are plentiful.
Taking down the old fence on the West side of the property opens the area up even more.
Landscaping has begun
April 21st, 2010 by trobinson
What a great day. Spring is in the air and the landscaping has begun. The crews are busy at work bringing our bed and breakfast park-like lawns back to glory. An early owner of the property, H.V. Lawrence, was a well known arborist and there are beautiful trees and plantings on the property. One of the reasons we were drawn to purchase this cape cod bed and breakfast property in January was the beauty of the grounds and our desire to revitalize the Inn property both internally and externally. The grounds team is working diligently and shared that some of the grounds have not been attended to in several years so the pruning was very much needed.
A few pictures of the work are posted for you to enjoy.
