What a day we had this past Saturday at the Wellfleet Oyster Festival, a great place to spend an afternoon with friends and family; especially on a day as gorgeous as this one was! This annual event and Cape Cod tradition held in ‘downtown’ Wellfleet, offered a tantalizing menu for all of the senses: food; music; shopping; people watching and exciting educational events.

This was the 11th annual festival celebrating Wellfleet’s famous oysters and its deep rooted shell fishing traditions. SPAT Shellfish Promotion and Tasting, a non profit organization devoted to nurturing a better understanding of the town’s shell fishing traditions, along with a multitude of volunteers works hard to present this event each year…and what a success! In keeping with the important focus on recycling here on the Cape, the festival is always very conscientious about collecting all shells:  oysters, clams, etc and returning them to the bay in order to keep the oyster reefs thriving. There were special recycling buckets placed all around the festival grounds to encourage everyone to do their part. (more…)

If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk. ~Raymond Inmon

The dreaded, but expected, writers block gripped like a vice around my head. So I walked, with my dog, studying his rhythmic and tidy little gallop as he scanned the area like a night watchman. I live in a neighborhood where pride is reflected in the well kept row of houses that line the street. It’s my ‘big loop’ walk that is both peaceful and invigorating at the same time. The streets are quiet but for the occasional car driving by and yet I can feel the houses looking back at me as I stroll past. We become where we live, and these houses can tell some wonderful stories! A beautiful evening walk with Willie and that familiar feeling of freedom helps to clear the senses. I realize that everything truly appears so interconnected, as I come home to find this quote I reference above on my computer … and voila, a lovely idea is born for beginning this new journey! Angels? Perhaps; but why not take a walk and decide for yourself. (more…)
