The weather was absolutely glorious today – no jacket required. I loaded Frasier into the Jeep and we headed over to Stella’s neighborhood to get some exercise and dream a little of summer days to come..
There are approximately 140 cottages on the “island” – which is actually connected by land to the rest of the shoreline. Each is unique with it’s own charms. Some are tucked into the woods among the rock outcroppings, some are along the water. I love this one – about five doors down from Stella –
And this… one of the secrets to making a small space look grand is to add large accents – like the
double door here with transom over it and the large deck with spreadout stairs.
There is a lovely house on that island, not seen from this angle. Can you imagine?
After our walk, Frasier and I sat on Stella’s steps at waters edge and dreamed of warm summer days to come, kayak adventures and ……actually right here in this pic he’s very concerned I’m going to make him get in the water. Which I didn’t. Nevertheless, he persisted.
(couldn’t help it)
On the way home I stopped at the local apple orchard farm market and picked up a few fun things, plus some pepperoni for Frasier. My friend Raven had mentioned this find at that same market and I just had to get some for myself… Maple Milk. Then I spied Lavender yogurt… and since I have not found culinary lavender yet other than ordering online, this was the next best thing, as in I get to see what lavender tastes like in food. Right near the Maple Milk was this Beet Strawberry juice… and I’m here to tell ya….
WOW… all three, udderly delicious! Seriously – if you can find any of these in your local stores, well worth the little extra they cost for the treat. And they’re not bad for you either – win win.
I’m not EVEN gonna mention the Orange Scream today – not EVEN after that obnoxious “rally” in Florida. Earth to Agent Orange – Did you get in touch with Sweden yet? They’ve been looking for you since Saturday night’s ridiculousness in search of the terrorist attack on their soil that they don’t know anything about. Also… week four, and you’ve taken three Florida weekends so far – you really didn’t think you were gonna have to actually LIVE in the White House, did ya. Knowing you, you’ll find a way to get out of it. A girl can hope.
Oh Sh*t, there I go again..mentioning things. Would be awesome if he’d just stop giving us reasons, ya know?
