Provincetown: Day 2

It's rained all day. But no complaints. Not one. It's beautiful here in this coastal town at the land's end. This is the deck off the bedroom, and below that is the view off the driveway:

And this is the house. It's been divided into three condos and JB and I own the middle unit. The house was originally a Brazilian nunnery. I'm told on good faith that the nuns who lived here smoked cigars and played badminton in the back yard.

The kitchen:

The side yard:

The big news for Sunday:

I'm waving at you in the rain. Can you see me?

  4. Ah I thought you must have bought a place there. It's simply gorgeous, rain or not, so quaint and cute and cosy. Wonderful that you've got the signing off the ground and I hope it rains and lots of people resolve to buy a book to read whilst stuck indoors. Me, I'd be out on the beach in my galoshes and raincoat eating lobster and drinking champagne. Then I'm a bit odd like that!

  7. yikes: spotty internet access. if i disappear for a while, that's why.

    val, perhaps you'll need to see this house in person before you paint it? (ooooh). but if you want photos, just say the word. xoxoxox

    marianne, 'be the sunshine'. i love that. you are a doll, marianne.

    lo! hahaha, i think this is the first time you've sworn on the blogs. i feel honored... i can't wait for you to see our place. really, i get very excited thinking about how much you will love it. soon baby soon!

    baino, i'd be out in the rain along side you! we bought this place in the early 90's-could never afford it now but it's a quaint and cozy sanctuary. i'll write easily here... xo

  8. A lovely get-away house.

    Woo-Hoo to your book-signing gig. Emily might be able to help by standing outside and calling (or pushing) people in.

    All the rain is making dsl connections spazzy.
