Location: At Home on Lakeview Avenue, Falmouth, MA
Once a week my friend Olga Mitchell and I try to go for a long walk with Shadow. We all love the Quashnet River trail in Waquoit. If there are no other people on the trail, I can let Shadow off leash. He loves the freedom, but always stays close to me. Today we walked almost a mile before turning around, but we stopped for a little rest before heading back to the car to just soak in the quiet beauty of the area.
On the way home, we stopped at the nursery on the same road as the trail. Olga and I both bought some lettuce to get a little lead start on our spring gardening. I then came home and worked on getting hoses out of the basement and getting the watering system set up. The arugula I planted last week is coming up and the peas Ollie planted for me on St. Patrick’s Day are about three inches tall now. Right now we have been getting enough rain, but I want to get the watering systems working so that I can give them a little extra water from time to time. Slowly, spring is coming along. This evening I took Ollie to soccer practice. That was it for my day.
Today was my sister-in-law, Sue Cook’s, 90th birthday. Happy birthday, Sue!!! I hope you enjoyed this special milestone birthday.
