Teddy Tuesday

Teddy and I are off on an adventure today - actually, Teddy is having an adventure, and I am trying to hide from the heat and humidity that is robbing me of sleep, and making my hot-flash addled brain and body pretty unhappy.  We're going to visit my friend, Priscilla, who lives on a sweet and shady pond. T will get to play in the water and use his fishing net!!  Of course, the heat doesn't bother him one bit. At home he has been completely absorbed in building a giant parking garage for all his cars and trucks. He's made it all by cutting up and taping with masking tape. His imagination has been in full gear for 3 days on this construction project.

I'll be back later with some pictures, but in the meanwhile, here is a pretty one I took on the weekend at a secluded harbor in Yarmouthport, on the bay side of Cape Cod. It was such a peaceful moment with LM.




Actually, this post is a day late and we did have a lovely time with Priscilla. Teddy got a chance to hunt for critters at the little beach.....the ground was teeming with tiny toads, and of course, he was really wanting to get out on the water in one of the kayaks.....not to be that day, but we will go back for a water expedition.

This charming cottage has been in Priscilla's family for many, many years - I spent some very happy childhood and teenaged years here, that helped shape my desire to live out my life on Cape Cod.  Soon this place of fond memories will be sold, and Priscilla will move to NH to live with her daughter.  We wish a new family centuries of happiness here, too.

Catching toads

One classically cute little boy moment

There was a beautiful pair of red bellied woodpeckers in this ancient tree, and a little fun on a swing in the giant white pine. He didn't quite believe that his Nana had enjoyed the same swing.

The neat driveway leading to the cottage from the street.

My Teddy brought me this bouquet this morning when he "delivered" my newspaper to me in my sitting room. 

This is a privileged life I lead!!
