A Recap with an Almost-Smile

Upon finishing up a vacation in Maine, the most I can muster is an almost-smile – and the one you see here was actually taken while I was still basking in vacation glory (hence the tank top) after a day at the beach. That feels far away now, even if the vacation posts just got posted here, thus delaying the weekly recap until right now. It was worth it. Remembering a happy vacation is always worth it. Back to the week in repose of the past…

A happy placeholder on this blog while I was actually still away.

The showy clem.

Light and airy and high in the sky.

A peony parade begins at the end.

Nipper in red.

A message for any journalist still engaged in both-sides reporting and acting like the two political parties are both worthy of respect. One wants our democracy to continue, and one wants to put a convicted felon in power and our democracy to death.

Time to tea up.

A pregnant pause.

Summer theme 2024: coquette.

The coquette summer playlist – part the first.

A coquette night to remember.

Our annual seaside spring retreat began as we returned to Ogunquit, Maine – Beautiful Place By the Sea.

A bouquet of peonies, a catbird, a beach, and a bed & breakfast – these were a few of my favorite things. 

A woodland walk filled with flowers caught in the nick of time

Our time in Ogunquit came to a close all-too-soon, and we look forward to a return in fall, but first… the summer.

Dazzlers of the Day included Matt Bernstein and Ken Burns
