Hi Martha, Your weekend at Lily Pond sure looked like fun. Oh, how I wish I could have been there in person. Your pool is absolutely spectacular! I love all of your photos of the food you served. They looked spectacular,also! My favorite photos are your pool and the fabulous purple cauliflower and the fresh shelled peas! I could almost taste them. The peas remind me of when I was a kid and I helped my mom shell them for dinner. Nothing like home grown vegetables. Beautiful blog. Jan

Dear Traveler,

Wish I'd known you'd be in Brimfield up the road a piece. I have gorgeous, mounted arrowheads, tomahawks and banner stones I am letting go.

Thought of you along the way since we both had Indian tribes on our acreage. I, however, have the Norfolk Prison System arriving to plan grounds revitalization, sooo I'm captured for the afternoon!

I love the purple cauliflower! It looks so beautifully presented on the plate. I never saw it before. Also, the landscape of your shade garden is really nice. It's just thriving!

Lily Pond
Will I meet you by the driveway entrance at the double gate?
Behind the privacy hedge, I know you wont be late.
Let's take the old brick walkway,that hornbeams a shelter made.
If it's hot that day,we should make for the garden of shade.
Through an arched doorway with lattice standing by,
Headed for the beautiful pool, that makes you want to sigh.
We mustn't miss the large aloe urns,that flank the front stairs.
Martha's home in East Hampton,used for entertaining,she shares
Her time,talent,for dinners,parties,at this place called Lily Pond.
Veggies from her Bedford garden,she has waved her magic wand.
Pick a peck of purple cauli and buckets full of fresh green peas,
Curlicue pasta with oven roasted tomatoes,and more peas please.
Golden frittata (aka tortilla)with roasted garlic and peppers green.
A scrumptious platter of red ripe tomatoes,fit for a king or queen.
For dessert,one crisp of Bedford blueberries, a la patch.
One crisp a medley of peach,apricot and plum,what a batch.
For sure the guests must know,that fate was on their side.
A fabulous day with Martha,let their conscience be their guide.
There's no time for coffee,that's only in a dream.
And time is not endless,it vanishes like cream.
