Lis's Project 365

So it was a warm and sunny but somewhat muggy afternoon and then all of a sudden….BOOM! It was like someone unzipped the sky and all this rain just dumped out all at once.

An hour later, it was dry and sunny again.

Another hot day today, but not as humid. A lot of people were outside at lunchtime. Most of them, like this woman, tried to find a shady spot to sit in. I think she found the best one.

In an effort to delude ourselves that we are still on our island vacation, Doug and I had some very tasty clams for dinner tonight.

Doug, Greg and Jen look out at the water while we wait for the ferry to come to take us  back to the mainland.   …sigh…

We went mini-golfing today. After a strong start, I came in fourth, out of five. Oh well. It was fun anyway.

That is the sound that young llamas make, like this one that Rachel and I saw at the  Farmers’ Market in West Tisbury today. We bought lots of tasty fresh veggies that were consumed with a fabulous lobster dinner this evening. Every year we have one big meal at the house, usually Saturday because the weekends have lots of vacationers clogging the restaurants.

the name of this store pretty much says it all.

Jen and I stopped into the infamous Murdick’s to get some fudge, and we watched the experts pour it out onto a marble table to fold and cut it. After he’d folded it, he cut off the ends into small pieces for the watching customers to sample; it was still just a little bit warm. Quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.

Usually I get my annual pedicure on the island with Rachel, but she’s unable to make it until the end of the week this year. Marie was more than happy to stand in. I can’t remember the name of her color, but I am sporting “Purple with a Purpose.”

seriously, I want a job coming up with color names.

I passed by this lovely little flower box while I was wandering through the town of Vineyard Haven today. I think the sign can be approximately translated to mean “hey! you! don’t sit here!”
