Said goodbye to the Vineyard today. I easily could have stayed another week, or maybe even two. But I guess it’s a little easier to leave when the weather’s not so nice. Here’s Greg and Jen, sporting raingear, at the ferry dock.
popsicle toes
for some reason, the image of toes in the sand just says “summer.”
the color, if you are interested, is called Kinky in Helsinki. Whatever that means.
ignore this sign
nobody pays attention to this sign. actually, I’m curious how long it’s been here…we noticed it for the first time earlier this week, and it doesn’t look brand-new…
best use of porch
the porch is central to our time on the Vineyard.
in case you’re curious, that lump in the hammock is Kat.
shoes
it’s one of those unspoken rules that there’s really no good reason to keep your shoes on in the house or even on the porch.
let’s go fly a kite
we brought our kites down to Ocean Park today. Doug and I bought a stunt kite recently, and Jeff also has one, very different from ours, so it was fun to try the different kites. Flying a stunt kite is very different from flying a regular kite; here’s Kat getting a few pointers from Jeff.
red sky at night
went on sunset sail tonight and, just like the name says, there was a sunset and it was quite fabulous.
stuff at the ferry
waiting at the dock in Falmouth. Weather is on the humid side but otherwise gorgeous–a lovely way to start a vacation.
why Doug is awesome
picture says it all.
surprise visitor
This fabulous creature appeared on the 3rd floor of the museum today, probably brought their on the backpack of some visitor. I brought her home and released her in the garden. This is, amusingly enough, not my first picture of a praying mantis, but the other one was part of a program, and therefore less surprising.
