still here!

hi! i'm still here! it's been a bit of a rough re-entry to work, starting the week off with a stomach flu, and adding another day to my vacation(sort of!  that's never suspicious, right?)  i've had no energy all week, but today i'm finally feeling better!

i was walking rosco in the rain this afternoon, with my umbrella, and met a woman walking across the street who was wearing an umbrella hat. i said, "nice hat". she told me it was from china and was used as a sun hat but also worked well in the rain. then she said, "i have something for you", reached into her bag and handed me an oil painting that she had made. she said she was giving them to people with umbrellas. kind of crazy, but also kind of made my day!

happy rainy thursday!

last day of vacation...

a few more shots from our stay-cation!

a fun, relaxing, good- food-filled week! tomorrow, back to reality, which will include a lot of crafting, as i have a few orders to finish up.

enjoy your sunday, and thanks for looking at my blog!!!!!

aaaahhhhhhhhhh.....

quite possibly the laziest vacation ever.

no cooking.

no cleaning.

no sewing.

no knitting.

no crocheting.

no alarm :)

some gardening.

some reading.

nice!

shun-piking

yesterday we took a drive off the beaten path, "shun-piking" as my parents would say. we ended up finding this little lighthouse at squirrel point! we followed a poorly marked trail through the woods, wondering the whole time if we were actually going to find anything at all, but we finally came across these abandoned caretakers buildings and the lighthouse! just gorgeous!

the day couldn't have been more perfect. sunny, 70's, no humidity, no bugs(!) . AND, there was a bald eagle fishing there in the bay! so beautiful!

we had lunch overlooking sheepscot bay. it's nice having a stay-cation here in maine, "vacationland"!

crab rolls-yummy!

yesterday since it was hotter than blazes, we went to chauncey creek lobster pier for lunch.

here i am breaking my "don't drink beer in the afternoon even though it seems like a good idea because you get tired and cranky" rule. (it was so good though!) and the crab roll was deeeee-licious!

all the surfaces were freshly painted and shiny and made for some great picture taking.

cool breeze, cool place, cool food!

rocket and rosco

 

happy (HOT) sunday!

vacation!

first day of vacation! i think i will spend today laying low and hanging with my peeps, as the weather is particularly LOATHESOME! hot is not my kind of weather, at all, and it's just too early for this! but enough complaining!

someone on the internet yesterday referred to hostas as "the throw pillows of the garden". brilliant!!!

keep cool everybody!
