Hello and Welcome!  Come on in and I’ll get you a mug of very strong French Roast, a cuppa tea or something else, perhaps something cold.  It is warm, but more than that a bit humid, so the house is stuffy.  We can go out back were there is a pleasant breeze.  See that picture at the top?  That’s were we will be sitting.  Do you recognized it?  If so, you know that we are on Cape Cod.

Yes, I left The Cape Sunday morning and drove back on Wednesday evening.  I’m spending a lot of time here!  Why?  Besides the obvious that the Cape is great ;)  Last week I came down to clean up after the tornado.  This week we are having a visitor come in from Denver.  There is also going to be work done this week.  I changed my telework agreement so I only go to the office if I have to.  There is a huge amount of work needed on this place.  We just listed the old place for sale, so there has been a lot of prep work and a lot more to do.  If it wasn’t for the cats, I would most likely stay down here full time.  As it is, I do have one cat, Albert, with me.  (Here is one of many posts about Albert).

Hello and Welcome!  Come on in and I’ll get you a large mug of strong dark roast, a cuppa tea or perhaps something cool.  It is a beautiful morning so we’ll go out back and enjoy our coffee under the trees.  It is a little humid, which I discovered when i did my 5 mile run earlier this morning, but it feels very comfortable.  Perhaps later, when it is hot, I’ll have to hit the ocean,but this is nice for now.  Where are we?  The photo at the top is new so you may not know that it is from Cape Cod.

Odd week.  I wasn’t supposed to be here today, but some of you may have heard that a tornado hit Cape Cod.  I came down to clean up a bit.  Still have more, plus a little damage.  Here is a limb that fell off of one of my trees. Continue reading →

Hello and Welcome!  Come on in and I’ll get you a nice large dark roast mix or a cuppa tea or other beverage.  It is a very nice, on the warmish side (for date and location) and the sun keeps peaking out.  Where are we?  Some of you may have seen the photo at the top and know that it is a new one from Cape Cod.

It was busy week and I don’t remember much.  A lot happening at work.  I had a week up in NH, so a lot of work up there.  I did have massage, so that was good.  I got almost no writing or editing done – I’m so far behind!

Of course this was the week that Notre Dame burned, at least the roof and spire.  I did a post with about 20 photos I took during three different visits. Continue reading →

Hello and Welcome!  Come on in and I’ll get a a large mug of very strong dark roast.  I blended several coffees together as an experiment, and it is good!  Anyway, I can also get a cuppa tea or other beverage.  It is cool but not cold, unfortunately it is raining, so….  And were are we?  Some of you may know that the stack of Beatles’ mugs is on Cape Cod.

This is another week were I was busy but I don’t know what to write…  Since I’ve been down here on The Cape, I saw an easel, a bunch of osprey, a black crowned night heron (I think) and other such critters.  I did a little work at the new place.  I walked on the beach in the rain.  I guess I look friendly because I had a few people come up and talk to me out of the blue, including a person who led me to where the eagle was.  So a nice little stay.

And it is pretty here, as the clouds reflected on Swan Pond in the photo below show :) Continue reading →
