please excuse my absence...

last week in providence was just gorgeous.

sunny and unseasonably warm.

i threw the windows open and propped the doors.

penelope and i spent our days doing yard work, painting and refinishing yard-sale finds.

it was glorious.

and oh-so productive.

as a little treat

i hopped on the ferry

and spent friday on martha's vinyard with my parents.

i scouted for the job i'm doing on the cape

and we enjoyed the very uncrowded streets.

...and it was all followed by a just-as-perfect and productive weekend

(smile)

Happy Monday!
