Yesterday we visited Breakwater Beach, a bay-side beach in Brewster, right about where the Cape bends its elbow. Beautiful, right?


Beautiful, but much too cold for turtles. Rowan, Jon, and I joined the Dorseys on an (let's call it) invigorating walk. We were excited by the prospect of coming to the rescue of a chilly turtle, but glad in the end that there were none to be found. Hopefully they've made their way to warmer waters.

Cleverest witch of her age, indeed.

This week Dagny turned 81.



Or 18, depending on who you ask.



Either way, we got to eat Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting.
