Summer

Isn't summer wonderful!? Just loving these summer days and evenings. The light is so grand and the long days are so great for getting things done or just enjoying a lazy day. But who's days are really lazy. Did have a few on vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Lovely weather, interrupted by Hurricane Arthur. It turned out to be just a downpour of rain and winds, not too bad at all and the next day was fabulous and we were swimming in the ocean. Great waves, Jack loved it too!

                                         Ferry going to MV, Love her name



It's an extremely large ferry, actually the largest and newest! Has WiFi, TV, Cafe, and lots of indoor and outdoor sitting, and air conditioning, even double decker car transport. We always take our car.



                                         Oh yes Jack on the ferry! Such a good boy❤



Black Dog Sail boat, I heard parents telling their little kids it is a pirate's ship! Looks like one, they have school programs for kids on the island to learn the ropes of sailing and 5 day sleepovers.



                                                    Many gorgeous homes too



                                                  My hydrangea's are doing well, love them



Rose Beach Plums and so fragrant



Tasty Honeysuckle



And what would it be without a random lovely "Daisy"
"He loves me, he loves me not"



Jack taking himself for a walk to the beach



Day after the Hurricane, rough surf, normally no waves



Very windy, maybe that's why it's not focused :  (



Could Jack have found a larger stick/log!?



Photographer I am not!



Few Golf days



Some grilling and something in the background



More of this




Oh we had a nice break! Can't wait to go back in two weeks for two weeks and then all our vacations are over. (at least for the summer)

I read three books, a true sign of summer for me
The Husband's Secret
Orphan Train
The Rosie Project 
And began The Silver Star
All ready GREAT BOOKS


Thanks so much for visiting me here in my little blogland. Thank you to all my new followers, I love seeing new friends joining me, so then I get to have new blogs to visit too! Be back soon. Sorry I missed many blogs, but I will be back on track now! Happy days to you all and hope you have some time to smile and laugh and give someone a big HUG!

  2. I have read the first three and loved them. I love your pictures Robin, after just reading and or listening to three of Erin Hilderbrand's book involving Martha's Vineyard and other islands up that way I feel like I was almost there with you.

  4. Good to see you, Robin! What fun you had at the Vineyard! We visited Nantucket for 4 days, my sister and I, and stayed in one of our ancestor's homes, the Jared Coffin House. I ***LOVED*** it there. Have fun on your 2 week vacation there!
