Well, Hello There

This guy caught me by surprise sitting on a low branch pretty close to the road yesterday morning. With no other cars in sight we were able to sit and watch him for a moment.

Remember To Look Up

As I mentioned yesterday, we were in Rockport recently doing a little shopping on Bearskin Neck. I noticed several interesting fixtures over the doorways along the way. These are mostly light fixtures, but they speak to the long history of Bearskin Neck as a popular spot for strolling, visiting and shopping. I can’t remember what crime thriller movie it was, but the master criminal noted “People never look up for things” and it’s a good reminder. Thanks Bearskin Neck shop owners!

I ordered some pink and some red fleece lined pom caps for Valentine gifts (thanks Pat Dalpiaz for the suggestion)

Seals on Brace Cove

I counted at least 20 seals on the rocks out at Brace Cove on Christmas Eve.  They were far out, and it was a little cloudy, but they were wishing us all a Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas.

Pj Bovio:

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas!

Here’s a Xmas portrait I did with watercolor and pencil. I hope you like it!! Please let me know. 

Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year!!

Fleur Cuisine Lunch

We found ourselves in Rockport recently and stopped by Fleur Cuisine on the T Wharf for lunch. Hands down, the most gracious hosts in the area. We sat at the bar, we were warmly greeted by smiling Daphnee. It was pretty busy in there for a weekday afternoon but that didn’t mean we weren’t treated like we were the only ones there. I had the hibicus margarita (a taste of warmer climes on a cold day) and a burger. Jim ordered comfort food tomato soup and grilled cheese. Though I forgot to take a photo because I was so happy, we also got the famous Caribbean chicken wings…..BEST wings EVAH. A lovey experience and you’ll feel all warm and happy inside as you leave.

I’ve had this set as a reminder on my phone since last week because I hear the clam roll at Charlie’s Place is a tremendous value on Thursdays

I’ll report back
