Making Christmas in southern Rhode Island

Christmas 2015

Finally getting the candles in the windows for Christmas in Newport,  I found myself opening five tiny doors at once today on the advent calendar; remembering when there was lively discussion every morning here, as to just whose turn it was and there never were enough doors and windows to go around.

Newport, oh, beautiful Newport, RI

It's June 2015, after one of the snowiest winters ever in southern Rhode Island. But the garden, after appearing quite wrecked late this winter, has recovered and is ready for your vacation this summer.

We have a new family hatched this early spring, born in our sun room gutter. Mama Mourning Dove is now on the lookout while fledgling gets the strength to fly away on his own.
