WOW! I cannot believe that Labor Day Weekend is here! I almost cried when I heard the rumble of the big yellow schools busses running up and down Canton Avenue in Milton yesterday. The kids were being shuttled back and forth to the shiny new Milton Schools. Well, don't cry yet. The weather is still fantastic and we have a 3 day weekend coming up.
If you so have kids here in the schools, you probably don't want to stray too far. This weekend maybe you could have a little stay-cation in your backyard. Here is my quick and dirty backyard enjoyment plan for this weekend and you could do all of this with no car.
STEP 1
TODAY:
Go to one of the Milton Public Library Branches and get a great recipes from all of the wonderful cookbooks they have available.
STEP 2:
TODAY: Go down to Milton Landing today between 12:00 and 6:30 PM to visit the Milton Farmers Market. You will be able to purchase locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables directly from the growers. By doing so, you will keep the Massachusetts agricultural economy alive and well.
STEP 3:
Anything you could not find at the Farmers Market could be found at the Milton Marketplace over in East Milton Square. You can visit there web site @ http://www.fruitcentermarketplace.com Their address is:
10 Bassett St
Milton, MA 02186
617-696-5274
Hours: Monday through Saturday, 8:00am to 8:00pm, Sunday, 8:00am to 6:00pm.
STEP 4:
Now you need to find a great bottle of wine and some cheese. There are two places to find all the help you need to get a great bottle of wine for your Milton Labor Day Weekend Stay-cation. Down in Milton Village, you can visit the wine shop named Esprit Du Vin. Their web site can be accessed for information @ http://www.espritduvinusa.com if you inclined to travel a hair further you might also want to check out Albert Winestein. There shop is just over Brush Hill Road on Fairmount Avenue in Hyde Park, Ma. You can visit their web site @ http://www.albertwinestein.com
STEP 5:
CALL SOME FRIENDS AND INVITE THEM OVER AND FIRE UP THE GRILL
STEP 6:
Make sure the kids get something they will enjoy. You could go down to The Radio Coffeehouse on Central Avenue right across from Eprit Du Vin for an ice cream. They are open late most nights in the summer. I am not sure exactly what the hours are. Please call ahead. Their telephone number is (617) 696-2326.
And to burn all the calories off, take a walk around Turners Pond. There is a parking lot available on Central Avenue and another one just off Brook Road at the intersection of Canton Avenue just to the left of the Glove School.
Now that's how you get it done! Enjoy Labor Day Weekend!
