Two Weeks!

a week later.jpg

A very special happening in my life occurred. A memory that will be forever with me. Castine Garden Club sale, lunch with the kids on the town dock which I have to say was disappointing to say the least but I'll give them another chance and walked nine holes carrying my bag for the first time in a year. A very good day in Maine with temperatures in the low 70's . Bring on summer, I'm ready.

Weather is beautiful in Maine for the next few days. Gardening, gardening, visiting friends, golf. Not so bad.

Castine Alive and Well

Snow has taken over "The Variety" and we all wish her luck. The loss of this place has really created a hole in the village. It may take some time for folks to get accustomed to it being open, but am sure it will once again become the hub of Castine. Thank-you Snow!

Upside Down

Interesting perspective on this dandelion. Almost how I'm feeling myself. Busy, busy, busy just trying to get settled back into my life in Maine . Golf season has begun here. I left the house at 7 A.M. and returned 7 P.M. . Think I'm getting to old for that as I was exhausted when I got home. But, so wonderful to see so many of my friends that I hardly saw last summer. And, to laugh with each other over silly things like little school girls is a treasure indeed. Yup, life is good.

A special Mother's Day 2012

Mother's Day 2012.jpg

I heard from several of my boys, and my two girls and son-in-law and grand baby came by to help me do some chores and then took me to Dennetts for lunch. Fried Clams, yes and they were good. My garden has been cultivated and ready for me to plant my beets and tomatoes. What a great gift to me. I'm a lucky and grateful mother. Oh, and I have a commemorative Fenway Park 100 years baseball hat. Oh yes, go sox!

Life on Pleasant Street

The very first day I was home, my cardinals came calling. Didn't have much food for them, but they let me know they were hanging around waiting for me to feed them. Hummers are at the feeder , the family have been to dinner , my lawn has been mowed but gardens calling for attention. Life is good. Today is Mother's Day and I'm so proud to say my daughters are wonderful mothers. Can't tell you how great that makes me feel as their mother. "Happy Mother's Day ."
