Pahk the cah in Hahvuhd Yahd...

A quick trip into the city yesterday... 

... found me parked in Harvard Square outside one of Harvard's 
exquisite iron gates and gorgeous old buildings 
while Amanda ran a few quick errands.

I absolutely love this city.

Meanwhile, back at home, the bluebirds have returned.

It's hard to resist a plentiful supply of mealworms, suet, seed, and fresh water...

 once the weather turns cold.

This poor little guy is waiting patiently for Mr. Bluebird to finish with his suet.

I cannot believe the year is almost over. My mother used to say, 
the older you get, the quicker time flies. How true. 

Hoping you are all warm and cozy as this year comes to a close...

Mother's Day continued...

On Mother's Day, we split our time between Harvard Sq. in Cambridge and The Public Garden in Boston...

(click any photos to enlarge)

While walking around the streets of Cambridge I snapped this beautiful bouquet to share with you...


And this was the view from the 4th level of the parking garage ... a cute little outdoor cafe beneath a boutique...


...and beautiful row houses...



The girls had fun in front of this mirrored window....


And I had fun snapping them!


A foxy door knocker....


... and a marker in front of the John Hicks house...


... so beautiful... so New England!


We stopped for dessert and coffee in Cambridge... My iced mocha was 2-die-4!


And yes, I ate the whole thing.


After Cambridge it was time to visit The Public Garden. In my last post I shared the Make Way for Ducklings statues.


The swan boats were not running on Sunday...


Perhaps because it was soooo windy... Or maybe they don't run on Mother's Day? I'm not sure.


But we had fun strolling through the gardens, seeing all the beautiful sites...


...and stopping to listen to a street musician who was braving the chilly weather.


It was so much fun to be able to spend time together, and my girls spoiled me with heartfelt cards. Amanda even painted a portrait for me of my beautiful Casper, the great dane I adopted long before my girls came along...
It's supposed to be much warmer this weekend - and less windy - so hopefully we'll get a lot accomplished out in the backyard!
