Simply Blessed

This summer, we have been simply blessed on Cape Ann with beautiful weather,
along with the amazing bounties that nature offers.

Simply A Katama Home (continued)

It had been over 10 years since our last visit to Martha's Vineyard.
One thing that all noticed was the increased amount of traffic.
There just appeared to be much more of it than we remembered.
The worst of it appeared to be in Oak Bluffs where at times, one could
spend over 30 minutes hunting for a parking spot and still not succeed.
The roads between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown were often in gridlock
which is a word that should not need to be used on Martha's Vineyard.

The home we stayed in was located further out in Edgartown in an area called Katama.
The traffic out here was much lighter, especially in the early hours of the morning
when the only traffic consisted of cyclists and an occasional jogger.

Here are a few pictures taken during one morning's walk.

Simply Spring Fever

This has been one long winter. We may still be "blessed" with a snow storm or two, although for many, Spring Fever is in the air. As the rain falls today, feast your eyes on what's in store just around the corner.

"In the Spring, I have counted 136 different
kinds of weather inside of 24 hours."
---Mark Twain

"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush."
--- Doug Larson

"It's spring fever. That's what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want,
but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"
--- Mark Twain

As the first winter storm rolls through and people are still trying to make it home safely, maybe these pictures will put a small smile on your face.

The winter solstice is nearly here and each day gets a little brighter.

Simply Autumn Blooms

There is still a little splash of colors in the garden as summer turns to autumn.

The dahlias have popped all summer.

At least one or two more blooms to come from this plant.

Simply Posy-ing Around

I needed to wait around the home today so decided to capture some of these flower images. In a few short months, when the snow begins to fly, perhaps these pictures will brighten someone's day.

There's not much I can add to these so I will let the flowers speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Simply a pocketful of posies.
