Strawberry Things

I’m so tempted to post a Wordless Wednesday post, but I feel guilty for neglecting the blog so much that I’m not going to let myself do it.  So instead, I’ll share pictures of pick-your-own strawberries at Bartlett’s Farm and tell you what we’ve been up to the past couple days, which is just about everything from playgroups and leading LLL meetings to publishing two websites, starting new ones, and some graphic design work (like this print ad for The SeaGrille).

I’ve been working hard to clear things off my to-do list because three of my friends are coming out to visit next week.  I’m so excited about having a some girl time and don’t want to spend any of it doing anything other than fun.

Besides work, there’s also been plenty of things to keep us busy as the summer activities start back up and so our days have been packed full.  I’m so glad to live on this island.  I’m thankful everyday for our wonderful community, full of interesting, fun and free(!) events and great friends.

Once Memorial Day weekend passes, you’d be hard pressed to find a day on Nantucket without at least five things to do.  It keeps us happy, engaged, exhausted and sometimes even keeps our tummies filled.

By the way, even if busy-ness might slow blog posts down a bit during the summer, you can still stay up to date on our life 30 miles out to sea of Facebook.  I often share photos and updates on Facebook that don’t make it to the blog and I also link to my portfolio updates, so if you haven’t liked my page yet, you should!

    Thanks for the heads up, usually pick-you-own strawberries aren’t ready till the end of June. It’ll be fruit feast at our house this weekend!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
