Lazy Days of Summer

Well.. not so lazy, but alotta fun!! To celebrate Shawna's birthday, we chartered a fishing boat to go out & catch some scrumptious fresh fish! The weather was gloriously accommodating.. sea's calm & but the poor skipper & first mate had no idea what they were taking on with the fishing Maineiacs arrived on board! LOL :+)
And.. we caught a boatload of fish to boot!

Catch of the day! Maggie's first fish!

Fernwood Cottage Gardens

Even busy soapmakers need a little R & R, so during the summer months we head north to Maine to our summer place for some fun, sun & relaxation.

One sunny morning I took my daughters to Fernwood Cottage Gardens, where they raise perennials & seasonal cutting flowers.. the gardens are always fun to visit and seldom will a week go by without me having fresh flowers in the house. It was a grand morning!




After checking out all the gardens & deciding which additions to add to their own perennial gardens, the girls were hard pressed deciding which flowers to buy! :+)

We acquired yet another baby doeling.. 'Spatter' we named her for her many spots! :+)
