Our Rock Garden is Growing
One of our favorite places to walk to is the Rock Garden off of Beach Street. It’s a little garden of painted rocks collected over the last 10-20 years. My girls love to point out their favorite rocks and look for new ones. Just the other day we turned a rock over only to discover … Continued
Auntie M’s: New Bakery and Lunch Spot Just Opened
Lucky us! A new restaurant just opened down the street from us. They offer made-from-scratch baked goods and Sleepy Monk coffee in the morning.

The Daffodils are Here!
The daffodils survived the surprise snowfall. The snow is finally gone and every day we find more patches of daffodils opening up and inviting spring to hurry up and come. Today on my way home from errands, I noticed that the roadside flower stands are filled with daffodils for sale.
The Sundial on the Prom
