Waiting Patiently

Hello everyone!

Cape Cod, MA

I've been looking for a vintage bicycle in yard sales, but so far . . . no luck.  Vintage bicycles reminds me when we used to live on the lovely Cape Cod.  I remember seeing all those vintage bicycles for rent, and also the tourist and the exchange students riding on those pretty bikes.  So in the mean time I decided to take my "modern" bike to the herb garden to pose for some pictures. 

The little basket at the right corner usually sits on a table at the front porch.

This basket hangs on our front door, but I just borrowed it for the pics.  I'll be in the look out for a bike's basket also.

I'll be waiting patiently for my vintage bike . . .

When my husband and I got married we went to Nantucket for our honeymoon, and we rented bikes.

Here's a photo of my hubby on his rental bike.

I love that bike and the cute rider too!

You can bike ride the entire island.

Herbs

Hello everyone,

How is your spring like?  Our spring it's been very dry, and it's feeling more like summer.  Not so good, because the grass has started to get dry to soon.  Singing another song, today I started harvesting our herbs.  Here are photos of all that fun work.

Mint & Oregano

In the back you can see where my

husband hung the pots and pans that

we are going to use outdoors.

I started hanging Mint & Oregano,

we still have more herbs to hang,

Rosemary, Lemon Balm, Catnip and

Lavender . . . my favorite!

Ah . . . smell so good!

There is nothing like a good homegrown

Mint tea!

Enjoy your refreshing tea!

Hugs,

An October full of Splendor

Hello darlings,

We had a very dry summer, and watering our 
plants was an endless chore.  Autumn arrived
and with it came rain.  Yes,  lots of rain...
Our plants started growing and blooming
like crazy.  It felt like if spring had returned
once again to our gardens.  Here are pictures
of our second Spring.

precious as Autumn sunshine by

staying in the house.  So I spend almost
