The Blues Of A Summertime Beach House

We left New Jersey on Thursday afternoon,

heading for the East End of Long Island, to my family's beach house.

While there are plenty of flesh-and-blood horses out there,

I couldn't resist getting picture of this flowery charmer, above, at a farm stand!

Friday was our 32nd Wedding Anniversary.

We had breakfast on the deck, and watched

the sunlight sparkle on the inlet, which opens to Peconic Bay.

Dion sure wanted those last crumbs of Howard's bagel!

After coffee, I asked Howard to do a video scan of the inlet, which is known as Corey Creek.

He did, but having a short attention span he got a little silly. . . .

  We stayed until Saturday evening.  I always hate to leave,

but then I always love coming home to That Old House!

Annie and I had great fun searching out yard sales and antiques shops and little roadside places like this:

The Jamesport Country Store, in a 1700s cape.  Don't you love the pickup truck?

Mary at Little Red House is hosting her regular Mosaic Monday blog party.
I'm in; are you?

At Smiling Sally's blog, it's Blue Monday.
I'm showing off the saltwater blue of Peconic Bay;
you will get a kick out of Sally's blues!

And Cielo at The House In The Roses hosts Show Off Your Cottage Monday.

Since the sparkling water is a necessary part of a beach cottage,

that's what I'm showing off today!

Have a lovely Monday; I brought home some nifty finds from the Island's North Fork that I'll share tomorrow -- Cass
