Swampscott, Massachusetts

has the prettiest little town commons

it is just on the sea across from fisherman's beach and wharf

and the  flowerbeds are filled with snapdragons

which I love

 the bees think they are pretty nifty also

This fuzzy bumble is heading back to the hive

loaded down with pollen

My battery died on my Dell laptop. Not one of my favies this week.

But, luckily enough my old Dell seems to be filling in rather nicely.

I am used to a touch screen now so i keep touching it and sitting patiently..................

and I can't unplug it for very long because this battery is on its way out as well

still though, it's better than nothing while I wait for a new battery

Joe started a new job this week. He has been working an interim job for the past year

and has been less than satisfied there.

So we are very happy he is working once again at a job where he is appreciated

and is with friends.

We had the boys here during the middle of the week.

They went  to the park and rec camp from 9 to 12

we walked the path through the wood to the park to get there

and then I walked back at noon to pick them up

we have some lunch and a little rest

before heading to the beach of an afternoon

It's a pretty sweet line-up

this week the waves have been pretty big and great for riding

Joe has been home early afternoon because he's on a training schedule

so all four of us walk across the street to short beach

and play in the waves for a few hours

then we come home and make dinner

summer sunsets have been spectacular lately

I love that we are able to set the time aside to watch them from the porch

this is a picture of the sunrise

it was so pretty I couldn't resist getting out of bed

and walking the beach in my pj's to make a photograph

I would like to extend an open invitation to join me 

for my first ever link-up meme
