fish

 

The first thing I did after our trip to the Atlantic Ocean

was dig out my recipe for clam chowder...

 

 

Mr. b isn't as big a fan of fish

(or as I call it the finer things in life)

 but he will have to bear with me

 for a few weeks at least.

 

~b is for boat



We are back...

 We enjoyed the last Eight days

 in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire!

 

 

 

 

 

If you are thinking it was all about the local fare...

you could be right!

 

 

Blueberries and lobster in Maine...

pancakes with local maple syrup in Vermont...

crab cakes, shrimp rolls, lobster bisque, lobster rolls, lobster pizza, blueberry ice cream,

clam chowder...on and on.

 

 

And of course there was cake by the ocean.

For Lynne...

 

 

...a Saturday critter.

 

Silly deers...

always running away from us

when all we want to do is admire them greatly.

autumn sights

 

Came across the kit for this star

 in my sewing room the other day...

so I just sat down and put it together.

 

Don't you just love surprises?

Dakota Man hard at it again...

~b is for bakery



Sally

 

Sally was looking for her toys.

She could not find the cars or the boats or the dolls.

She looked everywhere in the room.

She looked under things, and she looked behind things.

"Come, Bella," said Delainee.

"I want to go for a walk.

We will walk and walk."

Away went Delainee, and away went her black puppy.

They walked, and they walked, and they walked.

 

~b is for book

 



back to school

By now all the kiddies should be back in their desks...
or will be tomorrow.

 

 

I just had to make pencil pouches

out of these fun Japanese prints for the occasion.

 

 

I may have to find more of the typewriter print...love it!

 

 

Birdie of course could care less

that one of the prints is of cats.

 

~b is for Birdie and boring
