It’s such a treat to see this little splash of color in people’s yards and on the side of the roads after such a long, windy, and wet spring. They get their name because they look like a tiny (only about 3-4” high) bunch of grapes. Have you ever seen a Grape Hyacinth?

Hiking Out To The Beach At The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
323 viewsThere are so many different varieties of hikes at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. When the sun is shining and the tide is low, heading out to the beach across the boardwalk is so pretty and a perfect hike. You never know what little creatures you might see on the mudflats, or what birds you might see at the beach. Always an adventure!
Lots Of Surfers Yesterday At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod.
331 views
We were surprised to see so many surfers yesterday morning at Coast guard Beach. It was a beautiful, chilly, breezy day but the tides were just right and those surfers were sure enjoying some time out on the water! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
We hadn’t seen surfers at the beach in quite a while, so this was a big treat. Phil, who surfed quite a bit when he was younger, was loving watching them ride the waves.
It’s vacation week here in MA, so maybe you can enjoy some time at the beach and see some of these enthusiastic and dedicated surfers out on the water just having some fun!

You Never Know Who You Will Encounter On The Trails Of Cape Cod.
338 viewsIt was a gorgeous day and perfect for a hike along the Nauset Marsh Trail, when this wild turkey appeared on the trail. He was hiking along, just like us. He looked at us and we looked at him and we all continued along down the trail. So cute! You never know who you will meet along the trails of Cape Cod!
It’s Time For Launching Our Boat At Arey’s Pond Boat Yard On Cape Cod.
629 viewsThe moorings were all tagged and put in the water this past week at Arey’s Pond Boat Yard. And, our wonderful custom-built Catboat has been launched and is on the dock waiting for its first sail of the season. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
It’s been so much fun having a sailboat… again. I grew up racing sailboats with my brother and Phil had his own sailboat. During the shut-down of Covid, we decided that it would be fun to own a sailboat, get back out on the water and enjoy sailing once again. There’s no feeling like it! We’ve had a blast these past few years and are looking forward to another breezy, wind-filled summer of sailing!
Breakfast At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.
392 views
We were heading up to Fort Hill the other morning for a “picnic breakfast” when we saw this White-tailed Deer and her little one enjoying their breakfast by the old foundation on the side of the road . (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I always wondered what this foundation was a part of, so I did a bit of research. I found this, although I’m not sure if it’s the same foundation:
”The Fort Hill Rural Historic District in Eastham, part of the Caoe Cod National Seashore, contains a well-known capped foundation of the former Gunn Dairy Barn. Located along the Fort Hill Trail, these ruins represent a 200-year history of farming by the Knowles and Penniman families (1742–1941) and offer scenic views of Nauset Marsh.”
Does anyone know if this is indeed, the same foundation?
Beautiful Osprey Overlooking The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod.
366 viewsWe were taking a walk on the Cape Cod Rails Trail when I looked up and saw this gorgeous Osprey perched high in the tree, looking over the salt marsh. His huge nest, which I posted a couple of weeks ago, was nearby.
I picked today, April 16th, to post this blog about the Osprey as it’s my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 106 today. He was the one who gave me the love of birds and identifying them and their calls. Thanks, Dad. It certainly has brought a lot of joy to my life as I know it did to yours!
