When we returned, it was July 4th. My brother's family was visiting us and my nephew helped me pick these veggies.

Where Have I Been?
I haven't been posting anything all week. It's because I went away to Mystic, Connecticut to visit family and then I had family come visit us. So it's been a whirlwind fun and busy week. Mystic is such a beautiful seaside town, with a harbor full of sailboats. I could totally live here!
We were walking around town and the drawbridge was going up to let boats through.
I love this old anchor in the middle of town! It's beautiful!
You can't go to the New England area and not get Clam Chowder. Yum.
There were a lot of great flower garden beds all throughout town. I just love the colors.
We also had time to go to Mystic Aquarium where we saw this. A Lion Fish! Pretty cool.
And a whole bowl of wild blackberries. What a treat! Hope you all had a great 4th of July week!

You were missed! It looks like you had a nice time in CT and over the holiday.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic! I used to live there when I was a kid and my parents were there last weekend! Pretty photos :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful; if I could live somewhere else, New England area would be a top choice!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were ;)
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! Those clams are huge! Love your variety of harvests :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to do some traveling. Living that close to the ocean, it's good to go see it from time to time. It sounds like you had a good Fourth. We had family over, and had a good time, too. I was in the house with kids most of the evening, which was fine with me.
ReplyDeleteWild blackberries-now that's a fine homecoming! Hope they tasted delicious!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Looks like a fun time. I went to Mystic years ago and would love to go back!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a beautiful place!
