Sun protection is an absolute MUST, though that was not the case when I was in my youth. As a child, I played on the beach all day, my mother praising my deep tan at the end of the summer (she called me her “little nut brown hare”, from a favorite book of ours). In my teenage-hood, I applied Crisco to my limbs while basking on the sand. I cringe when I think of these stories, as I carefully examine the age spots that have formed deep within my dermis. Yikes.

One of my favorite things to bring home from the Cape each year is locally harvested salt. Cape Cod Saltworks has been producing solar harvested salts from the waters off Chatham for years and the gorgeous flakes are the most fantastic finish to any culinary creation. I particularly enjoy them sprinkled over my backyard tomatoes - no snack is finer!

Endless Summah

I adore Fall and Winter. I never want to live somewhere I don't get to experience all four seasons. Buuuuut, there's nothing like Summer. While I may be currently cozied up in sweaters and boots, waiting on Spring, it's always Summer in my mind. Because the ocean is my happy place, I find my zen when I channel the beach, sand, sun and surf, no matter how low the mercury dips.
