That sounds like a perfect prescription to me! ❤️☕️
Live my life by the Desiderata, Golden Rule and gratitude. Believe Good is stronger than Evil & that the Arts remind us of that. Life’s too short: eat chocolate!

Same, but except for the hydrangeas, they don’t stay pretty for as long a time as their more colorful cousins. I wish I knew a gardening secret for that…
I would so hide in that little grove! I know I’d have a Buddha-ful time! ❤️
Life‘s too short, Richard, so I no longer care about “so-called rules!” I think we all should wear whatever makes us happy… (Buffalo plaid works for me!)😉
We got a lot, and more on the way. Glad for that…helps my hayfield (my name for the backyard lawn this summer!)😉
Thanks for the info! My garden is experiencing “A Midsummer White’s Dream!”
Aloe to you and your fab fam! Look how talented you are! Unbe-leaf-able! You are my perennial favorite!
Thank you! And you are always so posie-tive! 👍
Good morning, my friend! Every #FriYay I invite you to share a #respite in #mygarden ‘(coz I’m always rooting fir yew)! While we “can’t wear white after Labor Day,” the rule doesn’t apply to #gardens! Always remember to grow with the flow, and that I’m so frond of you🌱 Have a safe & happy weekend!
👍😉
Didn’t mean it to be a pun-ishment😉
🤣👍🌈
😉❤️🌈
Never mind, Richard- -you always lighten up my day!🌈
It’s how eye roll!!😉
🤣👍🌈
🤣👍🌈

Good morning, my friend! Enlightening info: I heard that two scientists actually weighed a #prism. They found it was pretty light. Then they received a prism sentence. It was a light sentence that gave them time to reflect. (Truth is, my house is always at the end of my #rainbow❤️) Happy Thursday!
I think my record is 4,000 in 20 minutes…. Or close to it…
Pretty sure that Italian pastry is the reason…
We asked my son to take a photo of me and my husband, or as I put it, “me and my true love.” Smart aleck took photo of Mike’s Pastry sign in background instead!!🤣🤣🤣
Yup… that’s the combination, alright!!😉
The feast streets are crammed (on Saturday it was mostly tourists), and the line was a half-hour long wait at Mike’s, but I wasn’t leaving without!!!
Such a fun (and calorie-filled) day!
Good morning, my friend! Wanted to share some photos of the #StAnthonyFeast in #Boston’s #NorthEnd. Hubs, son & I had a wonderful time (& great eats🍝) at this ann’l street event. My “Nonni” (grandparents) took me every year and it brings me back instantly to those days🥲🥰! Clic on pics for descrips!
🧑🍳😘
Glad you’re with me on this journey called Life! 🤌 (“Finger Heart” emoji is the closest I could find to a Chef’s Kiss!)
👍❤️
Good morning, my friend! Welcome back from the long wkend and Welcome in to a brand #newday! Met Chef last spring just #celebrating the day and he says it all for me! Chef’s kiss to the new week, month, and whatever life has in store! Don’t look back- you’re not going there! U with me?! ❤️#bestadvice
🐇🐇❤️
He is just the cutest 🥰🥰!!!
Love The Mount! (Have attended an outdoor wedding there!)
What a nice memory for the boys!!!🦞💙
Same😉
Good morning, my friend, and Happy Labor Day! Wishing you a safe and fun day off! #LaborDay #PumpkinSpice #3DayWeekend #HolidayMonday
Beautiful shots!
I hear you! Heidi has come to both my window hummingbird feeder and the garden every day this summer and I only have the phone/camera with me once. Once🙄
Thank you, and I wish you the same!🌞
The best!🦋🦋
Not all the critters have told me their names. Most keep their distance even though they visit regularly. Those who come close to the back deck tell us their names, how many kids they have, you know – – neighborly conversation.
Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! Inviting you to our weekly #respite in #mygarden before you launch into the long #holiday #weekend. Today we’re sharing it with our frequent visitors: #hummingbird, #rabbit & #hawk who co-exist here in peace. #Gardens teach. (Clic on pics for descrips). 😘
What a great photo! Best of luck for an awesome school year, to L & K!📚🎓🚌
Love the raspberry color!!
high school kids!!!
Hah!
Would have asked him about it but I just missed him…🙄
Yes—- those kids did a terrific job! And pomegranates are yum!
Good morning, my friend! Sharing another #mural! Saw this one in #Watertown, MA. Had to stop- -looked yummy! “Seeds of Change” was painted by Watertown HS (!) students in collaboration with artist Gregg Bernstein in 2015. The students also met with area shop owners who sell these foods! #streetart
Good morning, my friend! Getting an early start today. 🌅Narrating an “industrial,” a major recording project, down the #Cape! An all-day session, so, alas, no 🏖️ time. Before I hit the road I wanted to share this fun meme with good advice for #WednesdayWisdom. Enjoy your day! 🌞
It was! And what fun it must be for your boys to see “grown-up Hot Wheels!” (We often go to Cars and Coffee at Larz Anderson Auto Museum, Brookline!)
😱
We did the same!🏎️
If you love the most beautiful aero-dynamic designs…hard to choose between the Italians: Pagani, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ferrari stole my heart. I kept saying: “This would look good on me!” 😄🏎️
Good morning, my friend! Part-2 of YOLO wkend: son’s impromptu invite to his sports car-fan Mom to join his group of pals at #DreamRide in CT! Annual event brings together $million cars to give “dream rides” to mentally challenged people. Design event raises $ for good causes. #greatday #boymom ❤️🏎️
Did I ever tell you that you’re my new best friend?
It was! An unexpected surprise all around!🎇
The three week wait was the hardest. I took to calling my mattress “Lumpy Rutherford” after the character in the old TV show “Leave It To Beaver.”🤪
Yes!
I always tell folks, but parents in particular, don’t blink….❤️
Good morning, my friend! Had 0 wkend plans except a new mattress delivery🥱. Then plans “exploded!” Part-1: impromptu dinner on friend’s patio while watching her town’s annual #summer #fireworks display! Total #surprise!🎇 (Part-2 tomorrow!) Wishing you a #Monday with only #happy surprises for you!❤️
Awwww☺️
One of my faves! Enjoy!🎨
Si, sono un problema. Gary-il-scoiattolo preferisce rubarmi le more. Lascia stare le mie verdure.🤷♀️
What a cutie-patootie!!! Hello little Harry!❤️
Dandelions are our friends…
Hai un balcone? Ci sono molti tipi che so possono coltivare nei secchi!🍅 (Altrimenti dovrò incontrarvi in qualche parte per condividere la mia!)
Definitely spirit lifters on gray and rainy days!🌞
Good job, PapaJohn!👏👏👏🧡
🧡🌞
Thanks!🍊🧡
Thanks🧡
Good morning, my friend! Each #FriYay I invite you to a #respite in #mygarden. The color waves continue with zesty #orange! #Lantanas line my front path, #celosia, #gerbera for my hubs, and 1st time for this #coleus. (clic on pics for descrips). Orange you glad for this pigment of our imagination?!🧡
So many pretty views. Oh, and go hungry.
I kid you not- I started singing the theme song! 😄🎶
I learned from Monday’s “Hope fountain” post that anchors also symbolize “hope!”
You have no idea how much I love planning itineraries with the best fun surprises!
I’ve only driven through it once, en route to Niagara Falls, Canadian side.🤷♀️
👀
I’m glad! There are regular wide expanses of beaches but this sweet cove was a fun find!🏖️
Good morning, my friend! As promised, part-2 of my #Gloucester #daytrip. Stage Fort Park area also has free #bocce courts, a sweet cove (w/life guard!), ancient cannon (someone placed a mini-jelly jar on this one🙄) and ship anchors everywhere! #Nearby #wonders to explore! (clic on pics for descrips)
Perfect!
yikes…
What fun!
I’ve never seen this in person, only on the evening news. (I don’t know about you, but I can promise you I’m never going to be a competition participant!)
What a great shot!⛵️
So true. Despite being a history buff, I didn’t know about the tensions between the Gloucester and Plymouth settlements until I read that plaque! If you tap the photo it will enlarge enough that you can read it!
Our neighbors in Maine might disagree…🦞(but some of us are partial to the locals…)
Good morning, my friend! Spent the day in #Gloucester helping an #artist friend gather #driftwood for an upcoming show. I’ve been to Gloucester at least 30 times in my life, yet 1st time at Stage Fort Park! (More tomorrow! (clic on pics for descriptions). #perfectday #seaside #garden #history ⚓️🌅🌊🐚
🤣👍🤣
Showed hubs the photos as he gets ready for work. He laughed at the sign, “Old Man Historic Site.” He suggests they add a second line, “Get off my lawn!” 🤣
On every single walk during the growing seasons, he would stop and smell the roses. Or lilacs. Or whatever was in bloom. His memorial is surrounded by beautiful flowers every single year.
Good morning, my friend! Just in from pruning #flowers in the #backyard, before it gets too hot, including at our #memorial to our late #bestboy Doogie. Spotted a baby toad taking a rest on the angel statue. So peaceful, I just let him be. Wishing you the same comfort today. Toadally.🐸 (Clic on pic)
right??😉
Just wishing “hope” for everyone who is a bit low on it today…
Another beautiful one!
And although born in Lawrence, Joe Perry of #Aerosmith was raised in Hopedale!
❤️
Great view of my favorite city, (but I hope you were wearing a parachute!)
I’m lucky to say that I’ve traveled many places around the world, but you have no idea how happy it has makes me to discover “local” treasures, too!
