garden delights

after weeks of rain
the sun is finally out, bright and warm

i've been soaking it up
working in my yard
planting and weeding

a well-earned lunch break
of a favorite pasta salad
leaves me wanting
more more more
summer...

simple + fresh summer pasta salad:
tri-colored pasta (ronzoni garden delights radiatore)
cucumber
cherry tomatoes
black olives
carrots
fresh corn
red peppers
scallions
feta cheese
olive oil
salt + pepper

home sweet home

what is one to do

on day four

of straight rain?

bake

plump chocolate chip cookies

to welcome new neighbors!

hello, goodbye

my iphone and i had issues.

the dropped calls on at+t

were enough to make me throw the thing against a wall

but, contrary to the evidence, i didn't.

but it did fall. a lot.

my husband replaced the screen 4 times.

the last one i lived with for nearly five months

cracked and taped

because the call quality was actually better once it had cracked.

crazy, yes.

but the last time it slipped from my fingers, did the old girl in.

so

we made the switch...

BUH-bye at+t...

and

hellooo verizon.

and hello to my pretty unscarred white little friend.

meet YOUR new best friend:

the case.

(and yes, i can hear you now. hallelujah!)

impending storm

honestly-

not quite sure how weather forecasters manage to keep their jobs...

this weekend on the cape

was forecasted to be miserable and wet

so, saturday's glorious sun, was a welcomed surprise.

sunday, too, allowed for gardening

and one late afternoon beach walk

just as the weather turned moody...

last light

black and white

dark and stormy

photos snapped on the iphone

monday's mood

checking in around my garden this morning...

pink

purple

and a

lilac scented breeze

...

a perfect cap-off to a glorious weekend

celebrating mom

happy monday!

xoxo
