Countdown…

In just a couple of weeks, the Cape will look like this! And I’m ready!
We spent the last few days cleaning up the gardens, moving plants/adding plants! It takes a village, and I’m grateful for my people! @artisticgardendesign
Oh, and I went to @mahoneysgarden too many times!!

(swipe to see BTS, what it looks like now😵‍💫)

Behind Closed Doors…

This is our “Summer Door.”
We use this side of the house to access the beach and outdoor showers throughout summer, but once the weather turns in fall and we shut off our outdoor water for the season, we lock it up until summer comes again.

Our laundry room sits behind this door. These two areas function as a well-oiled machine during summer months - they’re typically busy and messy, so I’m sharing pics of those rare moments when our laundry room and outdoor showers aren’t buried under wet towels and swimsuits. (The stainless steel drawers are actually refrigerators stocked with cold drinks - having them here minimizes sand and wet towels being dragged through the house.)

This week, despite the cold wind and rain, we turned the outside water back on and opened this door.
In a defiant act of hope…I gave winter the middle finger🤭.
Time to restock the laundry cupboard with fresh towels and products, wash away the gunk from the showers, and turn the page!

As the Seasons Change… The chore of doing dishe

As the Seasons Change…

The chore of doing dishes never changes, but the view as we work does. Watching the tide come in and out from here, throughout the year, is an unplanned perk to a very mundane task.

Today, I’m sharing a collection of my favorite #outmywindow pics; the changing seasons, different times of the day and in different weather. Which is your favorite?

Rainy Days… We started out this first full day

Rainy Days…

We started out this first full day of Spring on a damp and dreary note, but If not for the rain, there would be no flowers.
So, my sights are set on warmer days and I’m feeling optimistic about the upcoming Hydrangea season, noticing lots of little green sprouts out there!

Is it too soon to be thinking of days like this?

At 5AM…
Morning Routine

We don’t usually get a real Spring here on Cape Cod, sometime’s it feels like a week rather than a season. But last year it came earlier (and greener) than usual! A Proper Spring, and it felt like it exploded in one day!

Once the weather broke, I was outside at 5AM while everyone was still sleeping, to take in sunrise over the salt marsh.

Tonight, I’m sharing some of my favorite morning moments with you in honor of St. Patrick’s Day (with last year’s most beautiful, glowy greens!) and the coming of Spring on this soggy and raw Cape Cod day!

“St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.”
