This was last year’s bonfire, but is still fun to watch. Merry Christmas!

Days are shorter, nights are longer. We’re entering the nighttime of the year.
In our silhouetted landscape, moonrises are spectacular. (This is the Breaver, or Frost, or Snow Moon that occurs in November.)
The heavy moon is huge when it first emerges. Really huge.
As it rises, it becomes smaller in proportion to the horizon.
Just like us.
Lincolnville Beach is hot.

When it comes to coffee, the Northeast is finally putting some heat on the Northwest.
This rustic structure just across the street from Dot’s Market in Lincolnville Beach is evidence of this steamy trend.
Green Tree Coffee and Tea isn’t the first, or the only, coffee roaster in Maine. But it may be the newest. Welcome!
In the front of the shop and you’ll find all the gadgets necessary for brewing your own delicious cup of coffee. Along with a wonderful selection of their gourmet whole beans, roast, ground, flavored coffees, and interesting teas.
Their beans are imported directly from all coffee growing areas of the world, and arrive in these wonderful burlap bags.
The roasting happens in the back of the shop. Small batches are tested in this small roaster to determine the best method for each batch of beans.
Then once the roasting formula is chosen, the batch of beans goes into this large roaster. Mmmm, must smell so good!
Green Tree started in New Orleans but smartly found it’s way to Maine. We’re so glad they did. And it’s great to see the 04849 zip code becoming so popular.
Now only if they would serve cups of coffee (they have no plans so far to do so.) And it would be great if they would post their roasting schedule so we could come by to watch, and enjoy the aromas.
Be sure to ask them about their custom, personalized, roastings.

It’s just across the street from Dot’s Market, and the entrance to the Islesboro Ferry, on Route One. Don’t miss it.
Connecting the Dots.

From the road, you’d never guess what’s inside this very plain building in Lincolnville Beach, near the Islesboro ferry.
Even the sign doesn’t give you a clear idea, other than you can pick up a cup of coffee and something to eat.
So you’re in for a wonderful surprise!
Dot’s Market is a fabulous new foodie resource in Midcoast Maine. It’s named in honor of the grandmother of the owner, Melissa Carr. And they both appear to like the iconic retro candy.
Melissa’s mother, just happens to be the very talented woman who pioneered the well-loved Market Basket in Rockport on Route One and 90.
Dot’s is packed with personality and great food. Plus a very nice selection of beer and wine.
There’s plenty of parking in front, and lots of room inside for the lines that will ultimately form this summer. So go now!
And refresh your pantry.
Or pick up fresh ingredients for a tasty picnic on Islesboro, or to complete that recipe you found in an old Gourmet magazine, or just join your friends for a fun lunch.
But watch out, you’ll be tempted by all the goodies sprinkled across the huge front counter.
And take your time perusing before you place your order. You don’t want to miss anything.
Dot’s Market – 2457 Atlantic Highway, Lincolnville, ME 04849, (just before, or after, the turn to the Islesboro Ferry) 207-706-7922
