High-powered Manhattan attorney, Ellen Branford (Alison Sweeney), is going to fulfill her grandmother’s (Shirley Jones) dying wish—to find the hometown boy she once loved and give him her last letter. When Ellen leaves her Kennedy-esque fiancé, Hayden Croft (Kavan Smith), to go to Beacon, Maine, she expects to have a quick twenty-four-hour stay. But a near-drowning experience leads her to become a local celebrity and introduces her to a man named Roy (Marc Blucas), a carpenter who saves her life. As Ellen learns more about the past her grandmother has kept hidden and works to bring closure to her quest, she may find that a twenty-four-hour visit to Beacon will never be enough.

Recipe For Blueberry Scones With Thyme
Scones are a type of baked good that originated in the United Kingdom and are often enjoyed with tea. They have a slightly crumbly texture, similar to a biscuit, and can be either sweet or savory. Sweet scones often include ingredients like fruit, chocolate chips, or a touch of glaze, while savory versions might include cheese or herbs. What makes scones so appealing is their versatility and simplicity—they’re quick to make, require just a few basic ingredients, and can be customized in countless ways. Whether enjoyed warm with butter and jam or paired with coffee for a quick snack, scones offer a comforting, homemade treat that’s easy to love.
Yield: 8 scones
Scone Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 8 Tbs. cold butter, cut in small pieces
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme or 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (optional, but a great flavor combination with blueberries)
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- ¼ tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ – 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
How To Make Blueberry Scones With Thyme
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or use parchment paper.
In bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using pastry cutter, or two knives, cut in butter until mixture is size of very coarse crumbs. Stir in blueberries, thyme leaves, lemon zest and cracked black pepper. Stir in ½ cup milk until mixture just holds together, add remaining milk if mixture is too dry.
On lightly floured surface knead dough and shape into an 8-inch circle, about 1-inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Or you can use a biscuit cutter and cut into circles as close together as possible so as not to waste the dough in between. Brush tops with beaten egg and bake 20 minutes or until tops are golden.
Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Transfer to wire rack and cool slightly. Serve blueberry thyme scones warm or at room temperature.

Oooh, that looks delicious! And I just happened to pick up a thyme plant for the herb garden (now that weather in Phoenix is cool enough to start growing things again). Destiny, clearly!
