The view, complete with hummingbirds, of the private deck from my bed. The stained glass window hanging in the floor to ceiling window in the living room. An enormous fish sculpture suspended from the ceiling beams. The perfect outdoor light fixture! Melodic notes from the biggest wind chimes I've ever seen. A sink side compost … Continue reading 10 things I will miss about our island vacation house

Pacing myself
It seems that so much of life involves schedules and commitments. When we're at work, during our designated work hours, we frequently have to respond to the demands of others, doing what "they" want, when "they" want it. In my chosen profession(s) I have to be responsive to other people's needs and, when it's work … Continue reading Pacing myself

Like last year, we were shut out of our first choice beach, Newcomb Hollow and "settled" for White Crest. If you're unfamiliar with these Wellfleet ocean beaches, trust me, they're all beautiful. … Continue reading Meteor shower of love
