Tall Ships Stopping By Our Harbor

Posted on by Pat D

We have had some cool vessels in our harbor recently. I was fortunate enough to catch a couple on a recent sunset cruise including Virginia. I looked her up and this is what I found. Looking forward to more such stories throughout the next few days during SailBoston.

Spots of Backyard Color

Posted on by Pat D

The oppressive heat over the weekend forced me to slow down and just observe nature in our backyard. The heat did not seem to slow down the bird activities. We had several spots of color appear in the form of woodpeckers and orioles. I’m not sure where the cardinals went during the heat wave, but we haven’t seen too many. We were grateful for the entertainment these provided though.
