Well, hello! Happy Saturday – hope you have wonderful plans (which can mean no plans, hehe) for the weekend. I love these colorful frogs – they always seem so happy jumping around. It seems like Fred is always saving frogs from the pool. Scoop them out and they jump right back in 🙄.

I bet many of you have wonderful plans for today. Woohoo! Seems like a good day for a visit with friends, something delightful thrown on the grill, a nice fruit salad, a fun dessert – tunes playing in the background and a lot of smiles. With that being said…

I took this photo at Crosby’s Fish & Shrimp (back in January!) – I love this place. Fresh fish and when they have the food truck open it’s fabulous! They also have dock parties – which is cool – keep an eye on their social media for updates!

After news broke on Friday, regarding the Supreme Court – I want to give you a real life scenario regarding the implications of the SCOTUS decision. #roe I felt it was time to share my story, like so many others – whose lives could be affected. #itsnotwhatyouthink

Everywhere I go, I find myself snapping a few photos. I loved the color of these bright and happy flowers (I believe I was at Lowes for something, but always wander past the flowers and sneak a few photos). Something to give you a cheerful start to your day. After all, it is Saturday, woohoo!

Good morning! What a wonderful wake up call this is, right? When I see this image, HELLO SUNSHINE is what pops in my head. So bright and cheerful. The perfect wake-me-up vibe to start the day. Who doesn’t need that, right? A little coffee, a little color and some sunshine. Perfect!

Hydrangeas. We have them planted everywhere, and this time of year they are absolutely stunning! We don’t have the newer types that bloom all summer. Ours have a “season” of gorgeous, stunning blooms. They seem to be especially beautiful at dusk, it’s almost as if they light up!

This is a scene I could look at from sunup to sundown. The calming effects of water are undeniable. To get situated in a comfy chair listening to the waves, the boaters, and the birds is so relaxing. As kids we spent our entire summer on the river. Literally.

Porches (screened, not screened or even enclosed with glass) and balconies are like a special haven to me. The amount of time I can spend looking at nature, being surrounded by it, albeit from a distance is insurmountable. To me, there is no better place to sit with a book, or a cup of coffee and just be.

Courage Under Fire. Three words that describe our fire department so well. We are so thankful for them. We have a fire department near our house. It’s a comforting feeling knowing they’re so close. They do so much good in the area – beyond putting out fires, saving people’s lives – they’re out in the community making a difference day after day.

Monhegan Island is an amazing place to visit. 99% of us arrive via one of the local boat lines. We’ve always used (and loved) Monhegan Boat Lines. Nice people, clean, safe, etc. They make it an adventure (and sometimes it’s a bit more of an adventure than anticipated due to high seas). #bringthegingins This is a photo from years gone by… friends of ours departing the island (hence the name “Outgoing”).

June 1st – Already! This tulip has a hot color like the outdoors, ha ha. It’s bright and sunny and full of life. Nothing like popping in to buy groceries and leaving with something beautiful to boot. #treatyourself! I love how they are straight and tall in the evenings and wildly reaching out in the afternoons. #dancetulipsdance

First of all, can you believe we are already through the end of May? How time flies… #goodgrief I know many of us have plans to BBQ, or meet with friends and celebrate the long weekend – but try to set aside a quiet time to thank those who served our country and paid the ultimate sacrifice. There is a wonderful quote that says it so clearly…

Dahlias are gorgeous flowers, aren’t they? They really are utter perfection. This photo was taken several years ago on Monhegan Island (Maine). Absolutely stunning! I fell in love with the bushes of dahlias planted strategically – they looked as if they had always been there. Colorful, stunning blooms!
