Thoughts and Prayers to those in Western Massachusetts


Western MA Tornado Damage

I was at work when the worst of the weather hit. The Cape was spared but as we listened to the MEMA radio we could tell that it was bad. The weather on planet Earth has been wreaking havoc these past several months. I've seen the horror of what's left behind from tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes that have devastated not only parts of our country but all over the world. I have to admit, yesterday's events hit too close to home. I am now very much aware of how easily and quickly the world around me can be completely destroyed. Yet, in all the destruction around them, people come together to help each other.



A ray of hope is found in the ability to see the goodness and kindness in those that surround us in times of despair.












Stay safe out there folks.

I'm Ready For Summer!

My old wicker chairs have been repainted and now have new cushions! The fire pit is ready for it's first campfire and cocktails event!


My garden is planted and there are still some lovely flowers to enjoy! I think it might be just the right time for a stay-at-home vacation!

Nauset Light Beach - In the Fog

I had been invited to join some friends for a campfire on the beach tonight. It was sunny and warm when I left my home in the mid-cape area. I had my camera all set to take some awesome sunset pics, and I even had a reasonably warm coat with me. (It's always cooler by the ocean.) As I neared exit 10 I could see the fog bank looming ahead. It was as if a curtain had been dropped; one side sunny, the other drizzling rain and air so thick with fog you could barely see ten feet in front of you. By the time I got onto the beach...
