24 july
All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd...
when black-eyed Susan came aboard
Black-eyed susan's are blooming about
one of my very favorite flowers
~
another one of my favorites is
kite surfers in my town
Nahant is on of only a few places in Massacusetts
where kite-surfing is possible
we can see them from the living room window
sometimes they get as high as 30 feet in the air
that is the Boston sky line on the left
~
I rode my bike to the community gardens to get some vegetables for dinner
the harvest is quite limited at this time of year
but the zinnias are in riotous bloom
~
We had some wicked wet and humid days
but then a beautiful ocean breeze came in to cool everything down
~
My mum invited me over for an impromptu dinner
she grilled swordfish and asparagus and corn on the cob
it was delicious

Really nice, and delightful photos. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! The beautiful flowers and that water . . . they both say 'summer.'
ReplyDeleteI love where you live. I don't believe I've ever visited you before, nor you to my place on the big wide web, but if you did you would know my love of the water! And, you live near it. Can I be envious! Thanks for visiting - I loved everything your wrote and I'm nuts over zinnias! Susan
ReplyDeleteThe kite surfing sounds like it would be great fun to watch. Black-eyed Susans seem like such cheerful flowers. I've never had swordfish but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteOh what a yummy sounding dinner from the grill that your mom made you! We saw beautiful kites flying on Lighthouse Beach in Chatham when we were vacationing on the cape 2 weeks ago....they were gorgeous!! Love your pic, too! I will have to look at that watercolors app you mentioned in your comment to me. thanks!! have a happy weekend! (our high humidity broke too and it feels awesome.....and this afternoon we are finally getting some rain!! things were getting very dry!
ReplyDeleteNice choice! I didn't realize there was a vine with the same name until I came across it at the store, bought it, and happened to feature it today.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopping by from Floral Friday Fotos and hope you'll stop by to share your post for Flower Friday, too.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen kite surfers and had to look up what that meant. What an interesting sport.
How fun to have an impromptu dinner with your mom. And what a lovely menu it was.
Thanks for sharing your faves - they are simple and beautiful.
Gorgeous pics! And O, your dinner sounds like the best.

Oh yum, that dinner sounds delicious! So nice to have an ocean breeze to cool things off. I think I would be sitting in a chair watching those kite surfers all day. Seems so relaxing. All of a sudden I've been able to comment on some of these formats, so here goes on your site...keeping my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteLove your faves this week. We were on the east coast last week and spent one day at a beach in Delaware. The ocean air helps with the humidity so much. The kite surfers are fun to watch--we get them at 'Surfers Point' in Ventura. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI just love that wonderful atmospheric shot of the black-eyed Susan!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us on Floral Friday Fotos. I look forward to your next contribution.
