Nantucket

Hello everyone,

I hope my Canadian friends are enjoying

this long Canada Day weekend, and to my

American friends happy Independence Day weekend.

Today, I am finally getting back to sharing

some of our trip to Nantucket photos.

We took the ferry to Nantucket early in

the morning and came back later that

evening.

It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed 

both Nantucket town and the village

of Sconset.

My pictures don't really do it justice but

you can see there are lots of charming

weathered shingled cottages .

We were a couple of weeks early for

roses and hydrangeas so we may

have to go back!

This is a pretty restaurant called Chanticleer

in Sconset.

Cottages by the bluff.

It was rhododendron season

I love the hedges that surround many cottages.

The town of Nantucket

    I have been wanting to go back to Cape Cod

for awhile now, and Nantucket has always

been on my bucket list, so I am happy that

we are finally able to travel again.

Do you have a special place you plan to

visit,that has been on your bucket list

for awhile......Prince Edward Island (my home

province) maybe?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend?

Provincetown Cape Cod

                                                   

                                                             Hello everyone,

                                   Last week my husband and I went on a holiday

                                   down to Cape Cod. It has been several years

                                   since we were there, so I was happy to be able

                                   to hop in our car and drive down.

                                     It is about a 13 hour drive from our house, so

                                  we stopped part way down for a night to break

                                   up the drive.

                                       The first night in Cape Cod we drove up to

                                   Provincetown at the far tip of the Cape.

                                     It is a charming little town by the sea and I

                                    loved seeing the pretty homes and gardens.

                                                        

                               

                                                    I love grey shingled houses.

              

They have beautiful little front gardens to enjoy.

Who doesn't love roses spilling over

a white picket fence?

Lots of picket fences and arbors

It was fun to walk around the town on a

beautiful evening.

We spent a few days touring the Cape and

even took a trip over to Nantucket which

has been on my bucket list forever.

I will share more pics later.

                   

It was a rainy day today and Barbara and

I enjoyed a day in the kitchen making

food for the Tea Party on June 25th

All the tickets are now sold! Thank you

everyone for supporting this worthy cause.

We have washed and pressed all my prettiest

linens and will be sprucing up our screened

porch for the event so we should be organized

before the big day.....hopefully.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
