Our friend Matt is visiting from Ohio this weekend, so we spent a couple of days alternating between hanging out in the backyard and doing Best Of Our Town tours. Farmer's Markets to pick up stuff for dinner, nature walks by the lake, waterfalls, cobblestones...that kind of thing.

See that?

That is a happy and relaxed person, right there.

I've never been to Cape Cod before in my life (we stayed in Chatham, where our friends Colin and Leslie's wedding was held) but by Sunday morning I was sort of casually browsing the real estate section and fantasizing about living in a weathered shingle house with a big, white Nora Ephron movie-esque porch, spending my afternoons drinking Arnold Palmers and eating steamed clams.

Or something.

It was like the weekend that kept on giving.

A few more favorite bits and pieces:
