  • Kermit Rides in Style in Provincetown

    Only in Provincetown could Kermit the Frog flaunt his fluorescent colors and ride proudly through the town on the handlebars of a bike, on the way to work at an art gallery.

    Provincetown is a place where it is actually easy, "Bein' Green." If you haven't seen this video in a while, please watch it. You are okay just as you are. Kermit says so!

    Be Green as often as you can.

  • Skipping Stones at Sunset

    Provincetown is a place of beautiful moments. Moments that you enjoy yourself and moments that you observe as others enjoy them.

    This man walked the beach collecting the perfect stones for his purpose. He chose his spot as the sun set and the tide gave him a quiet surface for his game. 

    He practiced a skill he probably learned as a boy. He skipped stones as I watched from high above and some distance away. I hope he enjoyed the peace and beauty of his moment as much as I did.

  • Scotties Posing Pretty in Provincetown

    An old friend once said that getting more than one dog to pose for the camera is like trying to keep Jell-O® on a shelf. True, for the most part, unless you run into this pair of Scottish Terriers who pose on request.

    IMG_7370 - Version 22014-04-26-scottie-scottish-terrier-pair-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    At first it seems like a normal two dog situation. One would look at me, the other was more interested in his paw.

    IMG_7372 - Version 22014-04-26-scottie-scottish-terrier-pair-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    But then their people said a magic word and they sat, side by side, and locked eyes on me and my camera.

    IMG_7371 - Version 22014-04-26-man-dog-westie-beach-access-provencetown-devon's-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    They even do a perfect terrier tippy head for a different magic word.

    IMG_7373 - Version 22014-04-26-scottie-scottish-terrier-pair-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    I have to admit, the side view was caught by accident when another dog came near. They looked, but they did not move. Good dogs!

    Do you have magic words to grab your dogs attention?

  • A Fresh Herb Bouquet in a Mason Jar with a Flower Frog Lid

    Don’t you love this mason jar flower frog lid? I do and it’s perfect for a handful of chives.

    DSC_2007 - Version 22014-05-13-mason-jar-top-flower-frog-herbs-chives-© 2011 Penny Cherubino copy

    We had our first roof deck outing this week and discovered that the good, old, dependable chive plants had survived even this nasty winter and were offering up fresh green goodness for our meals. I picked a few stalks and look forward to adding a few chive flowers later this week.

    I enjoy keeping a bouquet of fresh herbs on my kitchen counter, right in front of my favorite work space. It’s like having a palette of color, aroma, and flavor. And, I love all the great covers, lids, and accessories that creative inventors are marketing for mason jars.

    We bought a few at one of our favorite shops, Utilities, when we were in Provincetown. This one is also available on Amazon.

    The flower frog cover is metal (it’s not actually rusty but rather painted) and comes in a couple of colors. I think it is going to be my favorite herb vase in the months ahead.

  • Poppy’s Provincetown Report

    Duchess Poppy spent her second birthday in Provincetown. This is her report …

    PC2_3185 - Version 22014-04-27Provincetown, early season, sniffing, dogs,© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    If you'd like to go to a very dog friendly place, I recommend Provincetown. Not only were the pups on the street happy to share a sniff, but you can even go to a restaurant patio with your people. And, lots of shops are happy to have a well-behaved dog (like moi) assist their family with a bit of shopping.

    PC2_2811 - Version 22014-04-21Provincetown, early season, senior, boxer© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The downside of all this dining and shopping and sniffing is that vacationing can make even a young pup like me very tired. Make sure you catch a nap when you can. As you can see, I packed my Mambe blanket so I could stretch out on the sofa just like I do at home.

    PC2_2753 - Version 22014-04-21Provincetown, early season, senior, boxer© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    At the beach, I met this old gent who showed me how to walk on the rocks without hurting my paws. He's kind of a Yoda to younger dogs. He said he learned from Yoda who told him, "Always pass on what you have learned."

    Poppy, westie, provincetown, breezy,

    I really like "decking." That's when you share a chaise lounge with one of your favorite people while they read. I even liked doing this when the wind was messing up my hairstyle.

    PC2_3174 - Version 22014-04-27Provincetown, early season, corgi, flowers,© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Lots of great dogs live in Provincetown. This Corgi was taking time to enjoy the sun and smell the pansies.

    Poppy,westie, sleeping, snuggle, curl,

    The bestest thing about Provencetown is that you get lots of snuggle time with your family. They are not so busy and after all the long walks we took, they were ready to settle down, and let me curl up and pillow my little head on them.

  • Provincetown in Early Spring

    PC2_3387 - Version 22014-04-29Provincetown, early season, roof, chimney, ocean, clouds,© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We just returned from a two week escape to Provincetown, MA. Early spring gave us a new perspective on the town and another time when we know we can enjoy this lovely place.

    This was the view from our new favorite deck. The moorings were empty, the sea was stormy, there was a mist in the air, but it was a beautiful, restful, and peaceful day.

    In the next couple of weeks, we'll drop in more photos and give you more reasons why you might want to enjoy Provincetown now as locals and visitors return, shops and restaurants begin to open, and the quiet is deeply soothing.

    Here's a link to all our Provincetown posts.

    This photo and others are available from our gallery. Here's the link to this one.
