Shingle cleaning. Who knew it was a thing? I guess lots of people, but not me …. Like many homes on the Cape, ours has cedar shingles as siding. I love the natural grey of the aging shingles. Unfortunately, mildew was covering many of the shakes and causing them to rot prematurely. In order to…

On March 9th, I went to the airport for my Global Entry interview…. ironic, as I haven’t been to the airport since. In fact, I haven’t traveled since… other than a over-protected, three gas stop commute from Atlanta to Cape Cod back in June. Since arriving at home on the Cape, I have not crossed…
On the marsh side of the property, there is a line of cedars that have all died. The arborist told us why, but I can’t remember. Root rot? We wanted to take them all down, but he suggested removing those closest to the house and leaving the rest as habitat for the wildlife. Of course,…

Fall on the Cape. Ready for the crisp days and lovely colors.
Back in 2008, we bought our first Kindle in preparation for a 20 day trip to Japan. I was unsure whether or not we’d use it after the trip. And, of course, we did. But generally only while traveling. Otherwise, it was still physical books for most else. Our homeschooling books we bought as both…
