We’re back on the Cape!  Our gardens are gorgeous.  The pond is still very high, but beautiful.  At night the peepers are all you hear with exception of an occasional bullfrog. No traffic noise here! 

We’ve had some really cute dogs here this month.  Clara is enjoying being back in her role as concierge dog. 

We are planning summer activities at the library.  The first is June 13th.  We will have 20 local authors, live music in 3 locations including: jazz, guitar and harp plus food. 

We really look forward to July and plays at the Falmouth Academy, Dennis Playhouse and opera at Highfield Hall. 

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and the season has started.

Here are some shots from our beautiful garden!

Spring has sprung and our Cape Cod Paradise is glowing!

We have had more rain and snow this winter than ever before and Ashumet Pond is lapping over our rear garden. Barbara, Steve, and Clara are ready to return to Mashpee, May 6th. Barbara broke her leg in Croton this winter and was trapped at the big inn. Steve drove up with most of the belongings taken to Croton last fall last week. He reports that the peepers are singing and the bull frogs are sunning themselves on the front steps. Plans to bring Barbara back this week present the logistical challenge of traveling with two year old twins: lots of equipment. Our handyman, Frank, has done the spring clean-up. The perennials are blooming and Barbara can’t wait to pick out annuals at the nursery. We expect a really beautiful season and very happy guests.
