This photo is from a while back, I love it. The door on the left is so striking against the gray weathered shingles and the window above with the flower – so sweet. Years ago a friend of ours rented this cottage. If you’re looking for a place of your own to rent while on Monhegan, there are many cottages to chose from. Plan ahead!
Check out the Stanley Apartment | Brackett Rentals website… great photos!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
View of the Island Inn, Monhegan, Maine.
Hiking around the island is heaven. Being out in cooler (than Charleston, SC) air, with great friends, wonderful food and views that are out of this world is something to look so forward to. Might be time to book next year’s vacation :)

This is Uncle Henry’s cottage on Monhegan Island (Maine). It’s got a ton of charm, and is rentable! I always love a shot looking into one window and out through another! Uncle Henry’s cabin is a short distance from the wharf (between the Barnacle and the Island Inn) and has quite the view! They have a great FB page with photos, check it out!
Read about the history of this cabin here! (It’s short)…

Fish House Restaurant on Monhegan looking towards Manana. Look at that dark blue water… it’s as gorgeous as it is cold! Wonderful, fresh seafood! Lobster and crab rolls and much more! Read about it here! You can pick up your food, then sit at the picnic tables overlooking the harbor. Does a more peaceful place exist? We don’t think so!

Ahhh, coffee iced cubes. These things got us through the hot summer months! Take your leftover coffee and refrigerate it (and pour some in an ice cube tray and freeze to make cubes). What a refreshing drink, and the cubes don’t dilute the coffee.
WIN * WIN !
I am finding it hard to believe that it’s already the end of August. TIME FLIES! Frighteningly fast! Normally summer drags on with the heat and humidity. This year was much better! The mosquitoes weren’t as bad, which meant we could use the pool, that helps immensely! We also had to replace our unit (AC/Heat) and WOW is this one ever nice! It’s so quiet but pumps out the cool air! It’s been a pleasure! We can’t complain our other unit was 20++++
Enjoy your last day of August! Catch you back here tomorrow!
I love this view! Can it be any more charming or scenic? This is the view from our table at the Island Inn Dining Room… a wonderful place to be. If you haven’t visited Monhegan before, you may want to add it to your bucket list. The food served in the dining room is some of the best on the planet! Truly! The Island Inn is a fabulous place to stay while you’re on the island.
It just doesn’t get better!

We have had several weekends that have turned out to be so nice, warm but without the usual humidity that makes you stay indoors! We really enjoy our backyard during those days! Those are days to catch up on reading and spending time with Charlie… In this photo I ran in the house for something and he sat there patiently waiting. Notice he sits on the cushion and not the ground, sigh… You’ve trained us well Charlie!
Enjoy your weekend! Catch you back here tomorrow!
What a stunning display of color, don’t you agree? Just look at these beets. I always thought beets tasted like dirt, I was so wrong. If you roast them, they have a sweetness to them that you will not believe! Give it a whirl!
You can roast them whole (scrub them good, cut off any leaves, but don’t peel). Then preheat oven to 375 F. Coat them with olive oil, then wrap in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast 45-60 minutes (or until done). Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Peel and slice into 1/4″-inch thick slices. Recipe: Bobbie Flay/Food Network
Ina Garten she peels, slices and roasts and then tops with orange juice, GOOGLE it! You won’t believe the wonderful combinations!

I’m an island girl. I am fond of islands. Mainly where the weather is cool and there is a gorgeous landscape to be seen. Being at the Island House on Mackinac Island, MI where you can get up early, sit out on the porch in the dark cool weather sipping your hot coffee. It’s pure heaven to me! Then inside for a delightful breakfast and out to face the day! We haven’t been in some time… am looking forward to going back one day soon! The Island House is the white beautiful building with the reddish roof in this photo. It’s been around since 1852. I remember it when before it had air conditioning or an elevator, but it now has both! If you ever find yourself looking for a unique destination, Mackinac Island is beautiful, especially the back side of the island (bike rentals are available).

Can you beat a Maine sunset?
I just don’t think so… a painting in these colors would be amazing! Have a good weekend…

Several years ago we rented the coolest cottage in Port Clyde, Maine… The Periwinkle. Oh how I love that cottage. So cool, it was like a movie set inside. Very rustic, which was part of the charm, a large roaring fireplace and just steps from the ocean.
It was only a short walk to the Port Clyde General Store or to Marshall Point Lighthouse. I would like to live there, ha ha… Wouldn’t we all?
My mom and dad joined us for their 50th wedding Anniversary that year – way to go mom and dad! There aren’t a lot of people who can say that these days. I took this photo on that visit! I love it! So this year is their 57th Anniversary!! Woohoo, you guys are the best!
Today is also my sister’s birthday, Bridget Jennings… Happy birthday to you! Make it a special day – you certainly deserve it!
Enjoy your birthday! Wish you were here to celebrate!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
Morning walk
Early sun in the tree
Swing just waiting for someone to come along
Why wasn’t it me?
Catch you back here tomorrow! Hey, I think I’m a poet! ;)
The heat/humidity = moving at a snails pace. Here’s proof, ha ha.
We often see snails slithering their way across the sidewalk, but I’ve never seen one with the shell. I just read about snails… how they create their shells from the liquid that oozes off of them (very technical explanation, eh?) – interesting…
Stay cool if you’re in a part of the world where the heat and humidity really up there right now!

Isn’t this the most stunning display of purple that you have ever seen? This is in a friends garden. She didn’t know it was going to bloom. The plant alone is so cool looking and then *poof*…
Artichoke bloom!
I love the purple against that fabulous green, here’s another perspective…
Be dazzled by the little things in life! Catch you back here tomorrow!
Beautiful homes in Charleston, SC… there are many, but this is one of my favorites. It’s the porch… how inviting is that? I would like to be on it right now!
Charleston has no shortage of stunning homes full of charm and plenty of character!
I have been signing off with “Catch you back here tomorrow”, but now I am considering something different… Have a second? Take the poll! It’s only a click!
