The Falmouth Road Race was a gorgeous day for spectators, a little warm for runners, but not hot, not humid, not raining, and with a light breeze. As good as it gets here on race day! The runners looked great, and the spectators were as awesome as ever. This year I biked down to Elm Road, less crowded than the finish. Here’s what I saw.
Even in pelting rain, Hazel’s in Rockland doesn’t disappoint. I discovered it last year when I was at a red light, going between the Colby College Museum of Art and The Farnsworth. The bright red metal roof and cheery yellow scallop trim beckoned. This week, it was my destination when I was on my way to check out Erin French’s The Lost Kitchen in the tiny town of Freedom. Last year I got the Maine crab roll, just fresh-picked local crab, delicate and delish. This week I got the grilled salmon on brioche, again local, fresh and sure worth the trip! (Go, you’ll be happy you did!)
What is better than celebrating National Lighthouse Day (August 7th) at the beautiful Nobska Light than with your Zumba sisters?! A group of us sure had a blast on Sunday dancing our hearts out with the most perfect backdrop, fantastic weather and some great music!
For a book lover like me, Falmouth Reads Together is one of the reasons I love Falmouth so much. This year the book is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
To kickoff this event, they are holding discussions across Falmouth. See below if interested in attending one of the discussions.

Marcia and George brilliantly opened their garden early today for photographers. It was heavenly! To wander quietly amid the magic this couple has created over the last 40 years, and to have the space undistracted by the many visitors who will be here later, was a special experience. To look, to see, to appreciate, what a joy! Here’s some of what I saw.
In the last photo you will see the Woodneck Path at Marcia and George Chapman’s half acre of paradise in East Falmouth. They lugged all these stones from Woodneck Beach, then arranged and set them to create this stunning vignette. Live local! The inspiration is all around us.
This is why we live here.
Thank you, George and Marcia!
