Summer is finally here! Best wishes for a fruitful and successful season to all the local businesses that are part of the fabric of the North Fork!

We opened our above-ground pool and planted some flowers. I must confess, no vegetables have been planted yet. But that will come soon enough. When we lived in a little house in Selden we had a huge garden that practically fed the neighborhood! My efforts are streamlined by the busyness of life. But the wonderful thing about living on the North Fork is access to great local produce at the farm stands! Enjoy!
