Grey seals sunning on the northern coast of Cape Cod — very effectively today; the sun was very hot and we did not last long hiking in the dunes.

Enjoying the view, hanging out with a cocktail waiting for our table.

This wooden vessel in Provincetown harbor appears to be in active use for commercial fishing.

Having never been to Provincetown before, I expected the main drag — Commercial Street — to be nowhere near this narrow. Its gaudiness and bustle, however, do not disappoint.

We celebrated Jeff’s 52nd birthday today. Which is funny because the last time we were able to celebrate properly, he was 49.

It’s so hot my sushi cooked on the walk back to my office.

I jest. The salmon is supposed to be like that. But I had a couple of coworkers going.

Free Ben & Jerry’s in the plaza outside my work today.

I discovered this yellow hornet nest (also called above-ground nesting yellowjackets) in one of our bushes when I went to water it — fortunately I saw them before they saw me. Now I have to wait for the insecticide to finish its work before I can try again. The bush really could use some water!

These almond-cranberry biscotti will help me with my diet. No, really: I’m taking them to work to give me a better option than buying breakfast.

Our B&B has several (occupied) bluebird houses. What a treat to see these pretty birds.
