Our New Beachy Mailbox For Our New Home On Cape Cod
4,126 views
When we decided to build a home here on Cape Cod last summer, we ordered a special mailbox that we could look forward to as we packed and got ready to leave Colorado.
It just arrived in the mail and I love it! It is perfect for our love of the beach and the shore birds on the Cape! Love that little Oystercatcher!
(I blocked our address which is printed in pretty red letters so that you could not write me lots of letters!!)

Jonathan Young Windmill In Orleans On Cape Cod
4,168 views
The Jonathan Young Windmill is historically unique, with all of its early parts and machinery intact, far more than many others which have been substantially altered through restoration efforts. This mill was authentically restored by volunteers and donations through the efforts of the Orleans Historical Society over a two year period.
Water power was first used to turn millstones to grind grain but with the shortage of fast running rivers and streams, Cape Codders turned to the wind for power. This windmill was built in the early 1700’s in South Orleans. By 1839 it was moved to overlook the Town Cove on the present hillside site.
The Jonathan young Windmill is such a historic site. It is also a great place to sit on one of the benches and look at the beautiful view of the cove or bring a picnic lunch and sit at the picnic table right there!
I can’t decide if I like the photograph better in black and white or color. What do you think?
The Great Blue Heron Is One Of My Favorite Birds On The Salt Marsh On Cape Cod

The Great Blue Heron has always been one of my favorite birds, especially on Cape Cod. They are so majestic as they fly and are so elegant.
This Great Blue Heron landed on the salt marsh right by our new home.
It was fun to think that I can walk by these salt marshes each day when we move into our new home and, hopefully, see a lot of different species of birds!
