The Best Beach

South Main Beach, Southampton Tuesday

 

Little Plains Beach, Southampton Wednesday

 

Dischordant Hues

I like to join up colors in my garden that most would not combine. Like this coral bark maple mixed with the pink blooms from the cherry.

April Days

Just a nice day at the beach.

Big Style

Marder's in Bridgehampton is decked out in great style for the spring season.

Beach Junk

The beach can be mysterious. Most days the beach is swept clean, just a mix of sand. Today the beach was covered with bits. Mostly big clam shells, but I did find one beach brick.

New in Town

I am very pleased that White's Pharmacy  a long time feature of East Hampton is coming to Southampton. This will be a great practical addition to our village.

Planting herbs is a sign of spring. At home I grow curly parsley, the home grown version seems much softer than store bought.

Spring Feeding

When I found this primo cow pooh at the garden center I had to have it for my garden. The name sounds so powerful.

Mount Sebonac

This important new addition to the South Fork can be spotted from Sebonac Road, Southanpton.

High Water

We have no rivers here in the Hamptons, very few streams. In some areas it turns out that the water table is just below the ground surface. In this woods these bogs appeared with just a 10 -15 inch drop in grade.

Moving Up

Local craft men at work

Sand Box

How do you put a swimming pool on a sand dune. Drive big pilings deep into the sand the put a giant concrete bathtub on top. Then ad a deck to connect the house to the pool.

The Old Way

The renovations of 1708 HOUSE in Southampton exposed the old style post and bean framing. The yellow insulation is newer.

Spring Cleaning

To me it seems that the winter storms scrub our ocean clean for spring.

If you are not in the mood for meat this fine cake from Tate's should do the trick.
