I’m back and want you to know that we had an absolutely wonderful week in Maine! We had grand adventures, we ate lobster, we read and drank wine and gazed at the ocean. It was perfection! Before I talk any more about it, though, how about if I take the easy way out with blog re-entry and just share with you the photos I took in June? You cool with that? Good.

A few selfies, lots of Jack, lots of garden photos, and fabulous food and drinks.

No wonder June is my favorite month of the year!

I kind of love it when the beginning of the month falls on or about a Monday. It means I can have an easy do-ahead Monday post by showing you the mosaic of last month’s photos.

Here’s May:

Lots of Jackie, of course. Plus Hannah’s graduation and the succession of changes to our front border. Lots of flowers and food and drink. Another stupendous month!

It’s the merry month of May and that means it’s time to look back at April’s photos.

April started with Easter and it’s hard to believe that we were still campaigning at the beginning of the month, too. The days were full of all of the things that make up my life, celebration and fun, vacation and good food and spring flowers and, of course, little Jack.

It was a very good month.

 

I’m generally not a huge fan of the month of March. I’m always fed up with winter and anxious for spring and, with no work holidays, the month drags on and on. This year, however, the month of March included several snow days, which were sort of like holidays, and it was a whirlwind of activity with working the campaign trail, spending time with Jack, and the general joy of every day life. Let’s take a look.

The thing that really strikes me about this month’s mosaic is all the people photos! March turned out to be a very good month this year.

The snow is slowly melting, our temperatures are gradually climbing, and Easter is only days away! How about a watercolor of a bouquet of tulips, pussy willows and forsythia for today?
