Bourne - 9/29/13

This morning we drove to Bourne, on Cape Cod. It is a stunning Indian summer day. The water is a beautiful deep blue. There are sailboats, and birds, and lot of sunshine. I am here with 9 other women at the family summer home of one member of this group.

We are perched on the edge of the water in Buzzard's Bay. This neighborhood used to be an island, but is now connected to the mainland by a short causeway. All the houses here are covered with grey shake shingles and most are in the "Cape Cod" style. 

My friend's house has an apple tree in front. It was grown from a shoot taken from Isaac Newton's inspirational apple tree. How cool is that?

The sunset was glorious. Then we had a simple dinner of ultra-fresh swordfish, yellow and white sweet corn, asparagus, and salad - nature's bounty! I could sit up all night and listen to the waves lapping on the shore right outside my bedroom's balcony door.

Tomorrow I will try to put up some photos. Today, I am overcome by lazy enjoyment of this special place.
