I discovered a lot of potential in the garden this evening.

I almost stepped on this gorgeous mushroom while hiking with H this past weekend.  I am amazed at all the woodland debris it had to shove through just to reach the sunlight.

I don’t know what we were looking at, but clearly, one of us was more amused than the other.

I couldn’t get enough of this local flower shop in Marblehead.  It was sensory overload with the vibrant colors, rich textures, and fresh floral smells.

H and I were in Rhode Island over Memorial Day weekend for reunion activities at his alma mater.  On our way home we had a chance to zip up to Marblehead, Massachusetts (where his uncle lived many years ago) for a whirlwind visit.  The town’s history, mixed with its quirkiness and beauty, make it a magical place.

Look at the excitement on our faces as we waited for the river ride to begin… well, except for little Sister L, who has apparently seen something the rest of us have not.

Although it was designed for people, our pool continues to be an alluring attraction for local wildlife.  This little fellow took a swim last week, relying on our trusty rescue floats to climb back to safety.

H and I passed under this highway bridge while traveling through Boston this Memorial Day weekend.  It was a welcomed reminder of those we honor.

Aunt J was always the cool aunt!  She camped, owned a sailboat… and she had this motorcycle.    We could hardly contain our excitement as we waited for our ride around the block.  It appears that Sister L won first dibs.

Fifty Shades of Ukuleles

H and I stopped by a local music shop last week where I discovered a wall full of gorgeous ukuleles.  Their surfaces were rich in color and ran the gamut from cool blues and violets to these warm reds and natural woods. They certainly didn’t look like the instrument I played as a kid.
