Bayview Farm and Garden

Had the hardest time finding JUST the right spot to Sketch the newly remodeled and expanded Bayview Farm and Garden. Finally settled into my chair in the shade in front of the Flower House Cafe, with a mug of chai tea, facing the main entrance of the Garden Store. I'll have to come back to sketch flowers - there were so many! After sketching we gathered at the Taproom Brew Pub for refreshments - Ginger Hard Cider and a plate of crab cakes. Yep. A fine day, indeed, in a very fine location. 

"THERE'S A SPIDER IN MY BEER!"

Happy hour after sketching at the fourth tee of the golf course today. We tried the NEWLY EXPANDED Taproom Brew Pub at Bayview Corners (where the Star Store annex used to be). The pub has recently expanded into the vacant adjoining restaurant space and offers GREAT food, as well as exciting beer selections (well, exciting for other people. I HATE beer. I tried some hard cider. It was OK). This GIANT fuzzy and leather spider occupied his own table, and (I guess) was waiting to be served a dish of flies and bugs with his brew.

Opening Night at the Taproom at Bayview Corner

We just happened to stumble on the Taproom at Bayview Corner for post sketching happy hour on their opening night a few weeks ago. The place was hopping and overflowing with great sketchable characters and I got a few. If opening night was any indication, it looks like it will be a great success!
