My husband works at home all week long. As a result, he gets the equivalent of "cabin fever" and he likes to take little rides on the weekend. So this weekend we were off to Chesapeake City, Maryland ~~ one of our favorite little haunts. The drive from our house, door to door, is a little over an hour and 1/2.
Chesapeake City is an old "canal town" and has plenty of charm, a few places to eat or get ice cream, there are lots of quaint little shops and B&Bs. It also has a marina, and one of our favorite restaurants, The Bayard House.
We sat outside at a table overlooking the canal and enjoyed our dinner and the view.
Later we walked around the park alongside the marina, and I went shopping. The stores stayed open late...I got lucky.
I found a hummingbird feeder that is very similar to Mary's.
Outside the shop, I spotted this pretty flower arrangement and it inspired me.
Then when I got home, I planted this pot with flowers of similar colors.......
All in all, it was a nice, relaxing day.

It looks like you had a beautiful day with perfect temperatures, and really enjoyed your trip. Beautiful hummingbird feeder - have the hummingbirds taken a drink from it yet?
Chesapeake City is one of my favorite places. I always liked the Bayard House. I remember being at the top of the bridge and looking down at the quaint little houses. It looked like a postcard village. Maybe one day I'll cross the canal again.
Hope you have a lot of visitors at that pretty feeder!
Lovely tour of Chesapeake City! Looks like a charming place. Your new feeder does look very much like Mary's. Hope the birds love it!

Hurray for happy purchases and flower inspirations. Great color combo--I might just have to copy it myself.
Dorothy, these photos are just beautiful. Makes me feel like I was there myself.
Sounds nice and like a good antidote to cabin-fever!
Sounds like a wonderful trip - I want to go!
Dorothy...wake up :o)
