Lunch today – Tomatoes right from my garden with fresh mozzarella and basil growing on the window sill, EVOO, and summer squash and zucchini from the Farmers Market sprinkled with dill. Yum!

Beautiful Industry- Link Belt Marine Crane

I could have sat and photographed this beautiful old machine for two hours.

Obviously if you know me you know how little time I have but I still managed to get a great video tour of this marine crane and about 25 photos.  Look for the video tomorrow.

Virgilio’s Womens Tee Shirts And Creative Packaging

What could be sexier than your lady friend arriving at your house wearing this and carrying a nice mudiga steak sandwich from Virgilios for you?  Right?

I believe Cape pond Ice packages their t-shirts in Ice Bags much the same way Virgilio’s packages their t-shirts in bread bags.

Chickity Check It! Annisquam Herb Farm Blog

image

Annisquam Herb Farm has been faithfully blogging since August 1, 2005!  Holy smokes!

Here is the first post way back on 8/01/05-

In February 2005 I bought what use to be an Herb Farm. The property borders a drainage brook which in turn flows into a saltwater cove. The Conservation Commission gave its approval of a small addition to the existing one bedroom structure which now joins the old house to the greenhouse.
There is a certificate here awarding the owners for growing and protecting the native plants. It is my intent to continue that legacy.
The grounds of the Herb Farm have not been tended for many years. There are many trees so sunny locations are few. There are 3 terraced gardens that were over run with plants, one is complete shade and covered with ivy and euonymus. I have tried to be very careful to not disturb the local flowers and herbs. I am finding wild things popping up in several places: digitalis, lunaria, strawberries and trillium for example. In addition to the desired plantings the knotweed had over run the the yard on the West side. It was so dense the well was hidden in a jungle of stalks. By late spring the jewelweed was 3 feet tall covering much of ground not inhabited by the knotweed.

Where Am I?

Secreted off island I took this shot at dawn.

I won’t be back for another week and then I am going to try to find out where the Rockport Gender sign went!

Did one of those sixteen homeland security cameras see anything? Was the sign being paddled down the Annisquam? If all of Paul F’s rocks can be found we can certainly find our gender signs.
