Warning: I Won't Be Able to Help It...

 I've always written about Provincetown but it seems I am going to be here more and in all seasons, and I have a new camera, and I almost can't believe the beauty.

So I might drive you crazy talking about Ptown again and again. But honestly I hope not and I don't think so. Because this place is flecking awesome and I am psyched to show you: 


 JB and I are here until New Year's Day. This is the beach at the end of the day. 

But I'll start earlier: 


JB and I are putting this place of ours together. Little by little we decorate. (To refresh: we've improbably managed to buy a house in Provincetown on Cape Cod in Massachusetts and we are in delightful shock. We still live in Western Mass. but we're trying to be here whenever we can and it's possible (probable?) we'll end up living here.) 


I think we are doing a good job design-wise  :^)


Today I am going to show you some houses near us. They are in the order of our walk:


I know this is a tree not a house but this tree is so cool.

Nothing fancy, just a public entrance to the beach just a block up the street (oh yes!)









If you see variety in the architectural or economic structure  of these houses, that's because there is. It's become much harder to modestly live in Provincetown and that's a concern. This is all the more reason somehow that JB and I are going to be secure here. 

Not that most of Provincetown is houses. It's a condo town too, with squished waterfront spaces everywhere. 


And this is again the end of the day This photo is not altered. The sea and sky here are just unbelievable.

So fare warning that herein in these here parts there will be more words and  pictures of Ptown. I can't help it. Don't make me. :^)

    1. Wiener, housing costs and rents have gone through the roof. We are where we are only because we bought a little condo here 20 years ago. Affordable housing exists in spurts, sometimes even by lottery

      Hahaha yes move here, Wieneke! I will open my arms to greet you!

      Love

  5. i never tire of seeing Provincetown. Charming. But one of the best things to me is the spirit of creativity in all things that pervades the town. And the sense of freedom to be the person you are inside and outside. Your house is sweet. Glad you have it for respites from Western Mass.

  7. We used to go to PTown yearly for Family Week. Now that the kids are grown, it is more difficult to get everyone together. But we are thinking of a week on the Cape this summer so maybe we will make the drive up. Actually, I would be willing to drive a long way for the seafood crepe at the Lobster Pot.

    Your house is gorgeous - right out of House Beautiful!

    Yes, more pictures, please!
