Recipe

If there was a recipe for the end of summer in Tiverton Four Corners I am pretty sure the list of ingredients would sound something like this:
6 ears of summer corn- Walkers Roadside Stand down the street is currently selling their Montauk variety which is lovely! While you’re there grab a few heirloom tomatoes. They look great sitting in your window while they ripen, plus they smell great. Stop by Milk and Honey Bazaar and purchase a wedge of their Cotswold cheddar. Once the tomatoes have ripened you can make the most magical grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches.

2 scoops of Gray’s blueberry ice cream.
3 bunches of field-grown Dahlias which look particularly lovely in our wooden kikar vases.
1 trip to the ocean preferably, Howland beach, to play on the rocks and picnic after 5 when the light is great.
2 hours of the late afternoon breeze, which usually rolls in to the shop around 2:30-3:00 and makes everyone stop in their tracks, bask in the sun and welcome this little moment of fall.
1 light cashmere sweater in a fun color or pattern to keep you warm while you eat your ice cream and visit the sea. Check out the starling critter tee @ J.Crew.
1 cute sidekick. In my case, a dreamy husband, who will be returning home from a three month stint at camp tonight!
