the weekend

just some photos from our weekend out east. pluto stayed home with chanda while the two rascals came along with us. we had a rainy drive going out, and two days of grey skies. the sun shone on monday and we left in the evening when greg finished work.




dinner at the point - i had one of my favorite meals: seared blackened tuna with sesame seeds and a soy garlic glace. their fresh tuna is always very tender and never overdone. i love the steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes with it too. greg had a fish reuben sandwich which he said was very good.

afterwards we visited the art gallery as it's their last show in this particular space. they're not sure where they are moving to yet.

i always enjoy walking around the backyard.

it was a drizzly walk along the beach early sunday morning . . 






coming back to the house, zuzu likes to peek through the window to see who's coming up the path.


this was a nice book explaining how the several breeds of guardian dogs have been trained to take care of the sheep. 

korrina was off from work and was at home watching the mets game with wash.

it was a close game of scrabble and greg would have won by just a few points, but he was too tired to lay out his final word. i've gotten better at holding my own.

a beautiful moon . .

and i hadn't missed the peepers . . 

zuzu had her eye on a squirrel outside . . 

their tails!



lunch on monday: fried clams with the bellies and lobster bisque for me, fish and chips and cole slaw for greg (though we shared the soup and the slaw).


my aloe plants haven't been doing so well. i brought two of them home to see if they can spring back.

home again late this evening.

colder days now

we drove out east this weekend. it was very grey and felt cold, but that didn't deter the surfers . . 






we went into town to pick up tacos and quesadillas and rice and beans for dinner . . the point's holiday lights are always so pretty.


cricket likes to have a spot that gives him a good lay of the land.

sunday brunch at the local pancake house . . . i had wanted to eat at the health food store (they finally are allowing indoor dining) but they were no longer offering oatmeal (which was always so good with maple syrup, blueberries and walnuts) and they also weren't serving weekend breakfast past 11 am . . two very odd things which had me questioning their business intelligence. so, we decided to try a pancake house we hadn't been to in a very long time . . 

coffee (decaf this morning)

half and half . . not just cream and not just milk . . i think this is a very american thing . . maybe canadian too?


oatmeal . . 

morgan's pancakes and eggs and sausage . .

waiting for their second breakfast . . or maybe their first lunch (is cricket secretly a vulture and not a cat?)

heading home . . 

but first stopping to show morgan the knitting store and to pick up a skein of sock yarn dyed by the shop owner, christine. i did put up a few christmas lights on the front stoop railing, but forgot to take a photo. i'll have to do so on the next visit.
