2013, Week #30

Full vacation photos now.  Here they are, from July 22-28:

That view.

Breakfast with a view. ‪

Snuggly pup on the porch.

Checking the clothes on the line while wearing his Cows shirt - Thing 1's on PEI!

Uncle and Thing 2 starting a game of Zingo.

All tuckered out.

Still life with shells and sunset.

Oh you know, just an average day at Cape Bear (with a little artificial flash to brighten up the foreground). No bigs. 

The boys.

Thing 1 reading Archie comics at the PEI cottage - a tradition continues.

2013, Week #29

Back from vacation on PEI and had a wonderful time (as usual)!  Here are the photos from July 15-21, the week before we left and the first two days on the Island:

Sadie hanging on the patio like a good, not-running-away pup.

My little boy, all curled up last night. ‪

The view up from the patio.

So much top tier progress this week before we left! Go Justin!

Summer study #1. ‪

Summer study #2.

Future tattoo (with degree & minute marks added).  It's the coordinates of a meaningful place on PEI.

15 days worth of clothes. Summer packing is so much easier than winter packing.

The house plants at patio summer camp! ‪

Healthy snack for the road! ‪

So happy to be here! ‪

Reading time this afternoon.

Rough life, huh, puppies?

2013, Week #28

Photos from July 8-14. We leave for PEI on Friday night, so expect a lull in photo posting starting next week. However, I'll be up there gathering material to post when I return. Have a good couple of weeks!

Monster cherry tomato plant. We think those top bits are pushing 6 feet. 

Lovely lilies.

Me with a calf on PEI 25+ years ago. (#muchmuchlatergram)

Me, my sis, and my gram on PEI many years ago. Might be my favorite photo in the universe.

Adorbs.

Weirdos.

So Cape Cod. ‪

Also very Cape Cod (Corn Hill in Truro).

Cocktails & oysters in Wellfleet on a weekday evening. Hooray for one-day vacations! ‪

Afternoon in the dining room of one of my houses.

2013, Week #27

Photos from July 1-7. A fairly busy week even with the holiday, but just got home from a wonderful weekend at the lake and we leave for PEI in about 12 days, so no complaints here!

:)

Not 100% done yet, but loving the patio so far! ‎

The two large 2nd floor windows are my office.

Lunch in the courtyard.

Boom.

Breakfast on the patio!

Couldn't make it down to Plymouth on the 4th to see some dear friends, but at least we have this!

Lake time.

A boy & his sparkler.

Sparklers!

Fire.

Summer dinner.

Old man Kobe pondering the road.

2013, Week #26

Halfway through the year! Here are my photos from June 24-30:

Almost ready for sand & bricks! 

Veggie garden update: cherry tomatoes & chives in; cukes, string beans, and yellow pear tomatoes are next.

Almost everything local: tomatoes from Marini Farms, basil & chives from the back yard, sea salt & EVOO from Spain (I think?).

So exciting to get to this moment! 

Kobe stopping by my garden house for a visit. 

This happened more than once.  ;)

Patio done enough for a patio party!
