Cape Cod Chronicle

Summer has arrived on beautiful Cape Cod…the rodys are profusely in bloom in varied brillant hues–a sight for the eyes. Our gardens are ablaze with color…just really nice this time of year. We are offering a third night free through June 21, Monday-Thursdays…why not come, relax, rejuvenate on us…we’d love to have you.

Spring awakens lots of energy!! Guests are here wanting a reprieve from winter’s sleep.

Renovations are in progress with a new upscale kitchen. The Mexican tile floor was laid this week; beautiful granite countertops are a breathtaking sight, and new appliances for guest preparation are certain to add to the delicious flavours of our full country breakfasts…H-mmm…H-mmm!!

The surprise of yellow daffodils and blue crocus raise their sleepy heads from winter’s hibernation, urging us toward summer to meet and greet former and new guests. Why not make a date with us today…you will have the quiet and solace you’ve been waiting for!!

Coming here in 1985 was anathema to finding really fine restaurant fare. 20 years later things have changed. The New York influence is here and surviving well. Take 902 Main Street in South Yarmouth, for example. Wow!! What Colleen and husband have accomplished here…their menu to die for!! Even check out the men’s and lady’s restrooms!! Clever, creative, fun to the eye!! This team is so original in so many areas. Pure delight!! In addition…other fine restaurants on the scene: The Roobar/Chatham; The Port/Harwich Port; A’louette/Harwich Port. You won’t be disappointed in any of these!!

This is unbelievable!! 57 degree weather, no cold and no snow. In my 21 years here I have never felt it warmer this time of year. Global warming for certain? Florida must be scorching!! But Christmas is in the air, regardless. Lights and tinsel aglow!!
So with this thought, makes me yearn for a white Christmas.

It’s Cape Cod Fall into Winter. The squirrels are scampering here and there, on the ground and in the trees squirreling the harvest pumpkin seeds or other foodstuffs for the winter. So interesting… watching them climb the tree, or burying same in ground below…all food for winterfest. Winter is coming upon us here. Think we will squirrel ourselves away for awhile.

Marti Mayne, noted travel writer is on Cape Cod this week as speaker at the Bed and Breakfast Conference through the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, and is touring various Inns for write-ups in various travel publications. Dunscroft By-The-Sea is one of the Inns in review. Can’t wait to see her write-up!! alyce

One of the most beautiful, warmest and brightest in my 21 years here. The hues of many colors are still everywhere. Temperature today (voting day) is 54 degrees. H-mmm…H-mmm !! alyce

You do know the light is clearer, the light is sharper, the light is brighter on Cape Cod!! …the reason for all the artists on our island. It is different, really and truly. Come see for yourself!! Neither the city (definitely) nor even the country have the same feel or look. Sunsets, the sky, and clouds are breathtaking!! It is unique in and of itself. Come for a visit and witness this aura yourself!! alyce
