Wishing

So, Chappy closed his eyes and wished very, very hard…

And got some sunshine. And a chance to see Chappaquiddick (from a distance, at least). Though, it WAS rather windy. I mean, really, look at the direction his fur is pointing. (Some of my pictures have some interesting, um, dark spots, from my hair blowing in front of the lens.)

Still, that wind did a fine job of kicking the clouds away. (Who else remembers that song?)

I was the only one brave enough to venture up to the top of the wharf in Edgartown to take some pictures–something I don’t do every trip, but …

Well, I didn’t have this camera last time I was on the island, and naturally, I needed a better picture of the whale’s tail. (grin)

Mom’s wish came true, too, because she had Espresso Love blueberry scones THREE days in a row.

It practically felt like walking back in time.

The dogs were pretty happy, too.

So, it was chilly today, but I DID switch to my Spring coat rather than the hooded winter one I was wearing the last few days. It was just so nice to see the sun shine.

I think Silas and Balou are missing their family, though. They keep coming over for pets and love, and giving us these mournful looks, as if they’re asking when they’re coming back. Because, you know, it doesn’t matter how much you like the people, or how much care and attention they give you, there’s nothing like your own family.

Speaking of which, my Dad is very, very glad we’re coming home tomorrow. He says he misses Mom and me, but we know the truth–it’s really Chappy that he misses.

And, really, who can blame him?

  1. Love that first picture of Chappy! We didn’t get to MV with the kids last year and the whole family is going to Maine again this summer, but one of these days I want to go back. It gets under your skin!

  2. Beautiful weather! It seems like canines and the people had a great time.
