I Need Me Some Spring







I truly do need some Spring....and as a result I have started to plan my excursion to Nantucket for the Daffodil Days weekend. It will just be a day trip but it should be as refreshing as the flower show used to be. We always went to that until the prices skyrocketed and the people who worked there behaved as if you were intruding on their domicile. Nantucket is way better...the cost of the ferry is a bit much but hey, we get a ride on the Atlantic and we wind up in the midst of beauty and history. Everytime I talk to a friend I talk about the trip and they want to come and we are going to have quite an entourage. I haven't been excited about much for quite some time and I am getting excited about this. I have that 10 year old can't wait for my birthday feeling beginning. From the pictures taken during my last excursion on a cold and almost rainy Spring day....you can see why.

I presume those photos came from there...truly beautiful. I don't know that I have every been there.

The last few days (actually, almost the entire week) has felt like spring here...the sun is shining...and it is beautiful.

Makes me happy...even if it will snow again...

Anon -- we usually just do a day trip but the last time we stayed there we stayed at the White Elephant which is within walking distance of the harbor. At the time we stayed it was not the upper elite yuppie whoopie do place that it has probably turned into so we could afford it. I know it was a great place and a greater location. The Jared Coffin House is also nearby and more than likely out of the stratosphere pricewise...now pretty much everything is though.

Just realized you said come to Nantucket ---do you live there? If so...how great is that?
