Summer – update #5 – Cape Cod, Massachusetts

On Wednesday after Memorial Day, SeaQueen and I went to her parents’ house on Cape Cod. I’ve been to their house in Woods Hole many times, but she and I had never really toured around the Cape much. This time, we had planned on going out to Martha’s Vineyard, but the weather was supposed to be stormy on the day when we had time to go (Wed afternoon and evening). So, we ended up visiting with her neighbor, going to a local gardens, going out to eat, baking cookies (the kind that come in a tube of dough), and we watched a Sandra Bullock movie that night.

This is the place that had the neat millstones in the landscaping.

It also had some anchors and an old bell.

Once again, the rhododendrons and azaleas were blooming.

It was really neat having the gardens be right next to the water.

All of the anchors were really interesting.

One of the paths started out simply enough.

And rapidly became a bit more interesting.

I definitely didn’t want to lose my footing and go tumbling down the hill!

It was really lovely.

As we were leaving, there was a wild rabbit in the grass eating his supper.

He was so teeny-tiny compared to Max!

Here is a photo of Max – I know there is nothing in the photo to give you a good reference for his size – but that willow-cube toy is about 3 inches in each direction.

The next day was the last day of our vacation together, and SeaQueen and I drove out to Provincetown. I’ll tell you about that tomorrow.
