Let The Summer Begin

The flag pole at Sorrento's public landing today.





Memorial Day festivities seem to always mark the beginning of summer for us here in Sorrento.




It is plenty warm enough to take Simon along with us on walks now.




Either he's a little spoiled or we're a little eccentric. But if I just let him sit on my shoulder, he would no doubt become eagle bait.



Sometimes, Henri likes to push the stroller ahead and then catch up with him.




I'm not the only one that notices when he does this though.




The rosa rugosas are beginning to emerge. The scent is heavenly.




The lupines have risen almost overnight in a showy burst of color.





A few skiffs have been launched and have taken up summer residency on the float.






Ours will be next, but today it serves as a prop to show you my new summer purse that I won in a recent giveaway from the lovely Kat over at Low Tide High Style. I just love the wonderfully funky spoon handles, and I tell you it suits me to a tee!





Kat lives in Maryland, so you know the card she included would have to include an image of a crab! Her card is what inspired me to go ahead and attach my favorite crab pin right on the front of my new bag.




And since it is green, and not blue, I think the little guy will be okay with staying right here in Maine with me. Thank you so much Kat, I love my new bag!
