  11. You certainly ARE seeing the best of your beautiful harbor town. Although as I remember our visit there, really there is almost nothing that isn't wonderful about it (at least this time of year!). I would live at the coast (any coast) if I had to pick one place (maybe someday I will). Loved the haiku (always feel a feather is a magical sign).

  12. I love your boats and the beautiful yellow flower.

    ReplyDelete

    Have a great week!

  21. Oh it looks like you are having a delightful summer Carol. I love the feather from the sky. I found a yellow one the other morning and since yellow birds are less common I wondered from where that birdie had flown.

    ReplyDelete
