more scenes from south londonderry

After riding our bikes through South Londonderry,

and my camera battery dying mid-click - yeah, I'll never learn...

I decided to return in my car - (parking it at the post office),

and take a leisurely stroll through town.

How cute is this colorful birdhouse on a shovel handle? -

I'm thinking I need to copy this look -

the shovel that is - not the overgrown part

 - although...

This big guy was eyeing us warily

We returned the gesture...

I'm thinking this porch would be perfect for spending an afternoon with a good book and glass of iced tea.

And then - just for fun -

this handsome guy is my mom's cat, Oliver.

I call him Shy Guy.

Hmmmm - does it look as though he's eyeing me warily, too?

Yeah, I really have a way with cats.

Tuesday Muse, Rurality, Our World Tuesday

Have a great day!

five on friday - vacation randomness

So - this week it was back to work, again -

and while I'm slow to get back into the swing of things,

it only took one commute into the city to pretty much wipe out a week of r & r...

Ahhhh well - it is what it is...

My backlog of photos is starting to stress me out, 

so for this week's five, I am sharing random images from my random week.

Greg and Chicago-daughter - taking a short pause during a hike.

We met up with these Appalachian Trail thru hikers at the top of Bromley mountain.

They were high as a kite, but I do admire their moxie.

Massachusetts lighthouse in my mom's seaside town.

I'm calling this awkward cutie "Woodrina"

Okay - yeah, I welcome suggestions...

Jamaica, Vermont Old Home Day celebration.

So that was my week in a nutshell.
I hope you're enjoying a little summer down-time, as well.
Have a great weekend!
